1.85 and 1.66 not displaying correctly

[chuckycheez]

Hi,

Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

I recently bought the Shinning and Clockwork Orange on Blu-Ray. The Shinning specs are Hidef 1080P 16x9 1.85 ratio and C.O. is 1.66.

Now, all 2.35 films display correctly. But why is it that C.O. and The Shinning are both playing in 1.78 full screen? I know there is not that much difference between 1.78 and 1.85 but still... You are still cropping the image! And 1.66 is a almost square format!

So why do studios write on the back that it's 1.85 when it's not even that! Or am I missing something? Should I set my player to 16x9 original or full 16x9?

Thanks
