It's only the right aspect ratio if all you watch are certain movies. There are a lot of movies (especially animation, indie films, and comedies) shot in 1.85:1 these days.

Also, this is likely to be more expensive than a 16:9 display of the same width, which means you're paying more for someone to have physically removed the "black bars" from the screen. Are they really that distracting?

What if you want to watch 4:3 content? I guess you could put (almost) two images side-by-side on the screen.

What would suck is watching 16:9 content that has been letterboxed to 4:3 for broadcast, though I'm sure they provide some sort of zoom feature calibrated specially for this (and no doubt stretched to hide the hideous borders). I guess what I'm saying is that they'd better have a dedicated remote button for each input possibility.

as LB was saying what would be the native resolution for this tv? won't 1920x1080 video look stretched out, or have the black bars at the side or even worse have black bars on top, bottom and both side? that would be awful.

how does Philips think this is a good idea? do you think a regular Joe would walk into a major retail chain and see a bigger size Vizio for less price or THIS and pick the Philips instead?

i like being corrected so go for it.]]>Jan 15th 2009 3:07PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/Jan 15th 2009 6:09PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/

There wont be any real way of knowing what the real ratio is until we have full specs on measurements and pixels. I would only think that they would use one of the 2.35:1 vertical stretch algorithms currently being used by video processors for anamorphic lens systems on front projectors.]]>Jan 15th 2009 6:18PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/Jan 15th 2009 5:14PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/Jan 15th 2009 6:25PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/Jan 15th 2009 7:07PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/Jan 15th 2009 11:05PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/]]>Jan 16th 2009 12:37PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/
No more scaling ever please (unless its downscaling, which would have absolutely no artifacts).]]>Jan 15th 2009 11:19PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/
it needs to be about 70 inches minimum to even be considered. maybe even 80 inches.]]>Jan 16th 2009 5:37PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/15/philips-introduces-ultra-widescreen-cinema-21-9-lcd-tv/..
