In the case of a Sony 61HS30 4:3 set that has the vertical compression compared to the Sony 57HS40 16:9 RPTV the widescreen/letterbox area on the display is roughly equal in size, and the resolution identical. On the 16:9 set the widescreen source (1.78:1) will fill the entire screen where the 4:3 will have black bars on top and bottom. On letterbox (1.85:1, 2.35:1) source both will have black bars although they will be substantially greater on the 4:3.
Does anyone feel that the 16:9 set will have more visual impact at least when the full screen is utilized vs 4:3 with black bars?
