I would not want to go back to 16:9 with horizontal letterboxing for movies after living with anamorphic front projection since 2006. It is the biggest advance in home theater in years, along with HD sources and lossless 7.1 digital audio. Recommend anybody interested in home theater demo an anamorphic setup.]]>Feb 5th 2009 11:17AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/02/05/philips-56-inch-cinema-21-9-hdtv-sure-looks-good-in-conceptual/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/02/05/philips-56-inch-cinema-21-9-hdtv-sure-looks-good-in-conceptual/
three to four years ago, most DVD's were in 16:9 format, and getting the 16:9 TV maximizes that real estate. then, they had to go and start releasing anamorphic DVDs, and now the TVs will follow in suit. letterboxing anamorphic in 16:9 sucks because you lose so much screen real estate and the picture becomes really small.

i just want convergence...all my TVs, movies, DVD, etc to be in 16:9. they're doing this just so that people will eventually have to buy new TVs. once you buy a 2.35:1 tv, they'll start doing an even wider aspect ratio, and you will barely be able to see anything.]]>Feb 5th 2009 12:57PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/02/05/philips-56-inch-cinema-21-9-hdtv-sure-looks-good-in-conceptual/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/02/05/philips-56-inch-cinema-21-9-hdtv-sure-looks-good-in-conceptual/Feb 5th 2009 4:33PM
