Just want to know if you guys would rather watch a DVD in widescreen or fullscreen. I myself would have to say, full screen, just because everything is bigger. But I do like widescreen also. FS just makes it easy on the eyes :)

Widescreen by far, you dont get as much movie with full screen.

The debate is not widescreen vs fullscreen, but OAR vs anything else.

I want to see it exactly how it was originally shot/presented.

Typically (for movies) that means "widescreen" (wider than 1.33:1).

Widescreen. Anyone who watches fullscreen is a moron and is not seeing the movie as originally intended.

Sorry for not making a poll for this, I've never made a poll on these forums before. Sorry people.

Quite correct.

For the vernacular answer though, I'll go with "widescreen FTW"

Whatever ratio the content was intended to be viewed in. For modern movies, that's generally 1.85:1 or 2.35:1 widescreen. I hate it when portions of the image are chopped off the left and right sides just so that the remaining image can "fill the screen", and panning around in a 1.33:1 frame so that the side details can be (occasionally) seen isn't much better.
