Quick PS3 fullscreen question

[Deciazulado]

So you have a 1080 x 1920 display that accepts 1080p and you're zooming those 1080p pixels 33% and you say it looks worse than 1080i/720p broadcasts?
800p to 820p pixels on a BD (the height of the Scope images being zoomed) looks oftentimes better than my local theater.

You must therefore be sitting much much closer that 1.5 picture heights, or the zoom is not doing a good job.

Anyway, this dilema will be solved if you get a 2.40 wide system. No more vertical black bars. All the height, width, and resolution.

Well I can understand buying a brand new expensive tv and wanting to use all it's real state expecting all movies to fill your screen, but you'll have the same problem "in reverse" watching movies like Casablanca or The Wizard of Oz or all the TV programs made in the 20th century. They won't fill your screen neither. So unless Hollywood starts cropping 25% of the image of probably half the movies ever made in the vertical or horizontal dimensions (depending on the case) and runs double inventory for High Definition discs, you'll have to buy only movies made after the mid fifties that are NOT in Scope ratio, or 21st century HDTV programming.
