50" isn't big enough to compensate. The black bars are the evil.

The only solution is to get a 65" plasma or a 103" plasma. You can then enjoy the black bar movies since the picture will still be big enough. I just wish ALL movies are recorded in 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 ratio. If I was the movie president, I fire everyone who releases 2.35 or 2.40+:1 ratio movies... Just make the 1.78 (16:9) the world class STANDARD.


OR,

Make the damn HDTVs the 2:40 ratio as a standard. Or at least make that version available to us. There are a few 2.35:1 or 2.40:1 ratio plasmas out there, but they are rare now. I would personally love to own a 2.40:1 plasma screen, with the latest technology and performance. It also looks better too. Nicely stretched sexy and all great lookin'.
