Default Help?

I just bought a samsung blu ray. I find that full screen looks much better than widescreen in hi def. Is there a way to always keep it fullscreen rather than widescreen? Example-deleted scenes in rambo look great because they are in full screen. But regular movie is only in widescreen-not as good quality.
Thanks!

Is this a serious question? I can't believe on any Hi Def TV that full screen looks better than wide screen. Wide screen is want the film is originally shot in and no, you can't change a Blu - ray to play in full screen unless the director chose to shoot in full screen which is mostly older films shot in black and white.

Besides, full screen cuts at the sides of the film on a Hi Def TV

Most TVs allow you to zoom the picture. BD players do not, for the most part. But, zooming sacrifices the clarity of the picture, of course.
