This is the conclusion I've come to as well, especially when the screen in question is 16x9. Nonetheless, this thread has been a wonderful education on the topic for me and I want to thank all of the experts who chimed in to distill it down to my level. :)

Thanks guys. I think I get it now. This topic is much easier to understand from the perspective of a 2.35:1 screen, which I don't have. I'm a visual learner and this helped tie it all together for me...

Thanks for taking the time to say it at all.

Not to put anyone on the spot but how can both of these statements be true. I feel like I'm so close to getting this. :unsure:

Thanks to everyone who jumped in to help me better understand this topic. I'm using this particular post to continue the discussion only because it addresses all of my remaining areas of confusion. So in my case the image processor referred to is my Epson 6050, right? When I select the...

Interesting. Would you mind posting a picture?

I'm happy to learn I am not the only one confused by this topic. My projector has the anamorphic function but I do not posses the requisite add-on lens. When I select Anamorphic for 2.35:1 source material the vertical stretch is nice but appears somewhat unnatural. ...But this is the part of...

Fascinating read, Martin. I'm one of those enthusiasts who is woefully under educated on aspect ratios as they apply to film. I use an Elite Screens borderless 16x9 screen. My projector has excellent lens memory features. Sometimes I bother with it but most of the time I just sit back and...
