Ben-Hur with its extreme width of 2.76:1 would be far more impressive on a 21:9 TV. You wouldn't be squinting as much.

2.40, 1.33, and 1.78 all look plenty big on my 1.78 screen.

Everyone with a 1.78 TV is equally affected. It wouldn't matter if I replaced my 65 inch TV with an 85 inch TV. It would have the reverse effect of making 1.3 movies and shows too big. You can scoot your seat closer for 2.4 movies, but the flatness of the screen will bulge out in the center more and the sound won't be right.
