So pretty much accurate and the closest possible to 1.85 in UHD resolution.


On BD, 1.85:1 is usually 1920/1040 = 1.8462, which will give you a slighly more opened up impression (exactly two more pixel lines).

But there are sill many BDs at the truest 1920/1038 = 1.8497.


2 pixel lines may seem like nothing, but indeed I've always noticed this slightly different visual impression when the BD actual resolution is 1038p instead of the more usual 1040p.
