Ps3 + full hd 1920 by 1080p blu ray not giving me full screen?

[rexest]

I rented 4 blu ray dvds last night, 1st time playing a blu ray and all 4 are giving me wide screen, I want full screen, It says full hd 1920 by 1080 on the back of all 4 blu rays, My tv is a full hd 1080p lg scarlet, The ps3 is set on 1080p and scaling is set on full screen, Its only when the movie starts that it goes to wide and has the black bricks 1 on top and 1 on the bottom, Is there a way to get it to play in full screen without having to zoom with the tv?

Ok i now know why thanks, Anyone know of any full screen blu rays? Im looking for something to show off my screen really.

Buy movies that were made for TV. For example, Planet Earth will naturally take up the entire screen. And it's generally pleasing to the eye.

[El Negro]

Just watched 'Gone Baby Gone' on Blu-ray and it is full screen.

Superbad takes up the whole screen!

[Simplayer]

Almost. Gone Baby Gone is shot in a 1.85 aspect ratio while HDTVs are 1.78.

I don't think any made for theatre movies are in a 16x9 format.

[Chevypower]

HDTV should have been 2K 1.85:1 24p and 48p compatible! Oh well, too late now....

Some BDs' like NIN Beside you in Time are 16X9. Under Wide display if you set it to Pan and Scan instead of letter box on movies that are not in 16x9 format it will fill the screen up w/less bars but, it crops some of the image.

Full HD, has nothing to do with fullscreen/widescreen, you need to look at the aspect ratio. 1:85:1 ratio, for example would fill up the whole screen on your widescreen tv with no black bars, whereas 2:35:1 would be wider and give you the black bars. If you have a standard fullscreen tv the aspect ratio would be 4:3, and I don't think you can find that in any Blu-ray.

sorry but educate yourself a little. HDTV and Blu-ray are meant for people who know, appreciate, and respect OAR
