What do you REALLY think . . .

I know there is a post dedicated to some of this, but . . .
I own a 52 inch lcd tv that was capable of full pixel picture display. Naturally i want to use the tv and get the best PQ possible, but it makes me crazy sometimes to see that "full pixel" FURTHER INCREASES the size of the black bars by over 4 total inches top and bottom. This being said i am losing over 8 sq inches of my 52 inch tv . . . am i complaining? kind of. They speak about the OAR being captured in blu ray by the directors vision of the film. Well every tv doesnt offer full pixel . . . so whats the true oar?? Is true OAR "full pixel" and what ever oar the movie is in? or is true OAR non full pixel?

Last night i was guilty of the "zoom" feature to show my wife the entire tv filled up. She asked why we dont watch it like this its so much bigger and our tv was $3000 after warranty why not use it all. I tryed to explain OAR and how much you see left to right of unzoomed scenes. Anyways what do you really thing of all of this? You ever zoom in and think "wow look how big my tv just got?"
