As I understand it, LOTR and other movies were filmed with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, which is wider than the 1.78:1 AR that HDTV's must adhere to. So does this mean that when watching anamorphic dvd's with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 on a widescreen tv, there will still be black bars on the top and bottom of the screen? If so, I imagine these bars will be smaller than on a 4:3 television, but the image will still be letterboxed, but to a lesser extent?
