POLL: Fullscreen or Widescreen DVD's?

[aphex]

Its a toss up for me... If im watching on my laptop, fullscreen is MUCH nicer

 

[Farbio]

i prefer widescreen, although i will admit that when i'm watching on the computer and not the tv, fullscreen is pretty nice to have, but i still prefer the wide

 

[minendo]

Widescreen is the only option.

Stop trying to make it sound better by saying "fullscreen"
It's PAN AND SCAN damnit...if you want to mutilate your movies, that's your own choice.

2:35:1 for life.

I like my DVD's like I like my women...wide....ummmm....no....on second thought....oh hell.

OAR is the way to go.



My next TV will most likely be a widescreen TV.

I will not watch a DVD in 4:3. EVER!!!! I'd rather poke my eyes out first!








Unless that was it's original format.

when given the option i will always choose widescreen...

but pan and scan is tolerable for my vhs movies

The worst thing is 4:3 letterboxed to 1.69 or whatever. That means when you do get a widescreen TV, there will be black bars on all 4 sides. My copy of A Fish Called Wanda is that way.

You mean there are movies that aren't widescreen?

Mommy, make the bad man stop with the lies!!!!

Yes, actually. For instance, Stanley Kubrick wanted his movies shown 4:3. Plus there's always the TV series that go to DVD like X-Files, Simpsons, anime, etc.

TV series are OK, that's what I said OAR - Not everything is filmed in widescreen, & that's OK.

But if it was filmed in anything but 4:3 they damn well better not chop it.

If they do I won't be buying it.

I absolutely despise Pan and Scam... you get so much more out of the movie in its widescreen format. I don't even notice the black bars when I watch movies. Thank goodness for DVDs, VHS ruined movies with the horrid Pan and Scam.

Original Aspect Ratio

 

[Handle]

If you have a small TV, often fullscreen seems better simply because widescreen makes the picture just too small to enjoy.

So sometimes fullscreen is good... particularly when your screen is large and has a 16:9 aspect ratio.

 

[Adul]

you need your head examined if you want anything other then widescreen,

Yeah, and chopping off up to 50% of the original picture makes it an even better experience.
