Youre right about that. Thats why many of us dont mind the Black-bars, i love them.

But at the same time, we should be at a point where 1/3 of the picture was not cut off even without the black bars. reason I understnad this, is because several people say that when they come over to watch movies.

They'd say, "I thought you no longer needed the black bars with a widescreen tv?"

The main argument b4 wide-screen tv's, were that the Black bars was because of the box television set. I think the topic starter is wondering why is it that he no longer has a box set, and still gets the black bars.

many were under the impression that the widescreen tv would eliminate the black bars. Since the tv was no longer 4:3 ratio. this was the argument given for the black bars.
