Stop calling them "Black Bars"

[cscBiology]

The so called "black bars" is not there by accident but placed there by the director to contrast the colors between them. When those bars are removed, like in anamorphic widescreen, objects that were covered up are now observed to the viewing audiance (check out the princess bride). The reason they are not seen on SD TV is because the picture is modified to fill the whole screen and only when viewed in letter box can they be seen on an SDTV. So why on an HDTV are they still there?

Like I said before they are suppsed to be there. Even if you are watching letter box on an SDTC the picture is skewed so that it fits on the screen correctly (boxes are rectangles). On HDTV widescreen TV's boxes are now boxes and you can watch it as the director intended it!

Do not believe me...Seriously! Look for yourself... Never fully trust anything from anybody without doing the leg work to find it yourself. Take what I say and prove me wrong. This is how you learn!
