Another methodology would be to have a product that offered variable horizontal and vertical stretch functions, but then again, anything other than OAR would still look stupid.

Yup, that's me, hate-hate-hating ignoramuth. Actually, quite far from being ignorant, [or hateful] having designed my first home theater in 1974 [16mm film, an arc-light source for awhile, with the projector in an attic sound-booth]. Had a 1,000 watt quad-amped sound system to go along with it. So, nowadays in our front projector [marantz VP-11] room here in the main [cellar] theater, when a 2.35:1 AR is shown, the 8' wide image can still seem a tad small. The seats are on casters, so I simply move the seats a little closer. No need to zoom there at all. Upstairs is the new 52" LCD in the den [for more casual viewing], where the lazy-boys are on heavy carpet, so.... I'll [GASP!!] zoom the image sometimes if I feel like it. I mean, really, who cares? |

Seems there is in A/V (HDTV) as in other technical hobbies, the relentless pursuit of one upmanship, with the haves trying to stay ahead of the have nots seeking to catch up. It's finessing this rat race that drives the manufacturers to ever more exotic sizes and their non-standard aspect ratios, so that what to do with the extra space has content producers wondering is my offering going to be classified as an obsolete format upon release. ~round 'n round we go~ But manufacturers don't determine aspect ratios, program directors do. -- jer email reply - I am not a 'ten' |

The a/r problem will never go away, unless someone invents a time machine, and goes back and has a LONG talk with William Kennedy Laurie Dickson. Had he picked an a/r near 2:1 (or just 3 perf pulldown), it's possible that the vast majority of movies would have been made that way from day one, and TV would have been wide from the outset. -- Regards, Bob Niland http://www.access-one.com/rjn email4rjn AT yahoo DOT com NOT speaking for any employer, client or Internet Service Provider. |
