Black bars? 4:3-16:9-2.35 Widescreen Fullscreen Scope OAR sticky threads

[Deciazulado]

There are 3 basic shapes of movies:

A) Academy (1.37 wide)
B) Flat Widescreen (1.66-1.85 wide)
C) Anamorphic "Scope"/70mm Widescreen (2.00-2.75 wide)


Your 16:9 widescreen display is 1.78 wide.


Movies of shape "B" will fill your screen

Movies of shapes "A" and "C" will not.
