In some store a 16;9 TV may have a widescreen movie that is NOT enhanced... Then you have the 4:3 gray sidebars, AND the widescreen black bars top and bottom. Trust me, you WILL care if you see that. (only more expensive 16:9 TVs can alleviate the double cropping, cheap ones: it's a crime..)
"16:9"ready DVD's: only,who cares,never
I will only purchase Anamorphic, or 16:9 ready DVDs, and I wondered about others' interest in the pan&scan, or widescreen for 3:4 TV, vs the DVDs with anamorphic or modified to fit 16:9 TVs. Since I have a current TV that can use the 16:9 or not (a Sony 36XBR400), Also I figure that some day I would regret it if I had a lot of useless full 4:3 screen widescreen instead of the ones that will fit right into my (future) 16:9 TV. Anyone else concerned with this? And do you buy DVDs with this in mind?
