guyver01 Lifer Sep 25, 2000 22,135 5 61 Feb 21, 2001 #3 widescreen.. it's the ONLY way to watch movies.. Pan & Scan loses alot of the movie.

nycdude Diamond Member Jun 30, 2000 7,809 0 76 Feb 21, 2001 #19 Some people just aren't used to the black at the top and bottom. They find it annoying as heck. That was my problem when I first saw one in a movie.

P Pyxis Platinum Member Jan 28, 2001 2,554 0 76 Feb 21, 2001 #20 I prefer widescreen. There's too much important stuff that's left out in pan n' scan.
L luv2chill Diamond Member Feb 22, 2000 4,611 0 76 Feb 21, 2001 #23 ...more specifically, ANAMORPHIC widescreen. There is a difference. l2c
nycdude Diamond Member Jun 30, 2000 7,809 0 76 Feb 21, 2001 #24 I'm curious. What's the difference???
