Aspect Ratio

[g0odfellas]

how do i set my Aspect Ration to 2.35 : 1, i have a ps3? All i see is that 4:3 and 16:9

You can't. 2.35 is bigger then your tv. If you had front projector you can get a diffrent lense for it so it fits on a screen better

2.35:1 is formatted to the dvd or blu-ray disc not the player. if you watch a movie and there are black bars at the top and bottom of the screen that's 2.35:1 if you don't see bars it's 1:85:1(or to be more precise 1.75-1.85:1)

The 16:9 is a compromise size for HDTV. However, movies are shot on different format films. You have to live with black bars for some movies. Read the following articles.

well, then you are watching 2.35:1, cause 2.35:1 is wider than 16:9 (1.77:1), which is why you get the black bars.

you want to be watching in 2.35:1, black bars is a good thing.

yeah but that's the original aspect ratio used in movie theaters. there is a thread ,which i'm too lazy to search for, that lists all the 1.85:1 blu-rays. off the top of my head, Superbad, sleepy hollow, hollow man, edward scissorhands, etc.....

check either on this site or on the back of the cases of blu-rays/dvds, if it says...

1.75-1.85:1 = no black bars, a full widescreen image

2.35-2.45:1 = black bars on top and bottom

oh okay, thanx. So i set them up on my ps3 or tv?

[Kratos3]

I worked at BB when widescreen TVs first came out, and DVD was just starting to explode. I always told people to do the math. 16:9 works out to 1.78:1, which roughly fits the 1.85:1 aspect ratio that a lot of movies have. 2.35:1 is wider so you will have the black bars. If you want to eliminate them, most TVs have a Zoom function so you don't see them. However, you lose information on the sides of the picture. Set your PS3 for 16:9

on your PS3 go to..

settings ----display settings----video output settings

[stockstar1138]

what type of tv do you have?

you are going to want to set it to "just scan" or 1:1 or something that will show everything in its native ratio and resolution. do what the guy above said with your ps3, your movies should now play in the correct aspect ratio. If you are seeing black bars you should be fine.
