I rent almost only BluRays. Over 95% of them are 2.35:1.
And I'm tired of it. There are very few theaters in this country where a 2.35:1 movie gets more screen space than a 1.85:1 screen. Most of them just move the curtain matte in on top and bottom to make a smaller picture.
And of course, no TVs that do it.
