It's sad to say but some people will never watch letterbox editions because either they think they are getting cheated by having black bars on the tops and bottoms of their screens or they are distracted by them. How you can be distracted by black empty voids is beyond me?

I think thke problem is that when you have a 4:3 TV that's under ~50" and you are watching a 16:9 movie, then you are getting a smallish image.

Obviously they've never heard of the "zoom" feature most DVD players have.

I HATE LETTER BOX Unless you have a huge TV it makes the picture smaller and harder to see.I continue to buy VHS in full screen if I can't find DVD that way.I fully understand that you're not getting the full picture in full screen and I don't care I'd rather not have to squint to see a movie on my 27" screen thank you.
