JDM- I have to respectfully disagree. The only thing I even watch in 4:3 now is The Simpsons. Everything else I watch on TV and almost every movie I watch is widescreen. The 16:9 ratio isn't wasteful- its closer to the ratio of movies, and it mimics the field of human vision more. And the more 16:9 TVs get out there, the more content the providers will send out in widescreen.
“Getting too close completely blurred what we saw to the point of incomprehension, but again, this shows a whole heap of potential that's fascinating to us.”
