I need websites showing differences between widescreen and fullscreen!! (1 Viewer)

[Jon Mercer]

I'm surrounded by co-workers that I'm REALLY trying to convert from fullscreen to widescreen, so if anyone has some sites that give excellent picture differences. Please help - don't let me be the only one!!

Thanks
Jon

Try http://widescreenadvocate.org. The site has a list of sites that have examples.

Look no further than right here - follow the link in post # 6 - it's the worst example of bad P&S I've ever seen :

Great example.

The website at http://www.ryanwright.com/ht/oar.shtml has, IMO, a very good shockwave flash animation which shows the difference between Widescreen & Pan And Scan.

As it's been mentioned before, widescreen.org is superb for examples. The specs for different widescreen processes aren't 100% correct (see www.widescreenmuseum.com for technical stuff), but it makes the point.
On my website @ http://cztoodb.tripod.com/ , I have a gallery of P&S vs. widescreen pics from Around the World in Eighty Days. While the images are distorted sometimes (I couldn't fix it at the time), the point is to show how much is missing from the frame.

Try this widescreen VS fullscreen comparison of Harry Potter DVD:

My conclusion is - For "Some movies", fullscreen is not always that bad, but widescreen always preferable.

Widescreen photos should have the black bars. It's a no brainer for Joe Six pack to prefer those longer pictures with the black bars removed. IMO, it's not a true comparison with them taken out.
