Most people want to know how to get rid of the black bars on widescreen DVD's on widescreen sets. My question is the opposite. A widescreen television has an aspect ratio of 1.78:1. As we know, 2.35:1 DVD's have obvious black bars to make up the difference. My question is, why don't you see black bars on 1.85:1 DVD's? Shouldn't you see bars on anything wider than 1.78:1? Am I losing picture on my 1.85:1 DVD's? I've been wondering this for awhile, but just got around to asking.
