Fullscreen vs widescreen is a complicated topic.
I want the full image, as originally intended.
- I don't need my tv "full" of image. That's silly. You lose image, and sometimes story.
- I don't want to see on-screen boom microphones and power lines, because the fullscreen was shot with the intention of being matted.
- I don't want a double-matted piece, where the original was cropped to fullscreen, and then re-matted back to widescreen with even more picture now gone.
Just give me the picture as originally intended. If I want a "full screen", I can always zoom in with my DVD player. And like I said, one some of those super-skinny widescreens, I usually go in 1.5x, which is still wide with bars, but not so tiny I can't see it.
I really don't have any idea what you're talking about, to be honest. But that's my take on widescreen and fullscreen.
