Unlike most people out there,
I just recently bought a 55" Wide Screen TV. Upgraded from a 42". I do enjoy films like SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, GET SMART, & GET HIM TO THE GREEK filling the 55" screen. However, this doesn't mean that I don't enjoy movies that are 2:35.
I would never make any adjustments just to fill up my screen. I like the ORIGINAL ASPECT RATIO.
If a movie is 1:78, that's good. If a movie is 2:25 (or any variation of it), then that is good too.
When I had a standard 4:3 TV, I almost never looked for a movie that was labled, "FULL SCREEN", because this meant that it was cropped to fill a 4:3 screen.
The black bars on top and bottom of my screen doesn't matter to me as I have a 55" screen. What would bother me is adjusting the TV to fit a 2:35 movie and seeing everything tall and skinny.
I like BLU RAY because it depicts as close as possible the original theatrical experience.
Oh, and my TV is black all around, so the bars are virtually unnoticable.
