which do you prefer?
 
i was wondering... which do you prefer?

when you watch movies would you like to see it in Widescreen or Full screen?

lindsey 12-04-2003 10:38 PM

I go for full screen.

Joshy 12-04-2003 11:02 PM

Depends....

In the past I fancied Full Screen by the mere fact that my tv was small and it looked retarded to watch Widescreen on it. Now I got a bigger tv and Widescreen is the way I enjoy my movies. With Widescreen you get the full theatrical ratio in proportians to your screen, when with Full Screen you lose part of the picture. Anyway, when I'm rich, I'm just going to get a Widescreen tv and eliminate those black bars altogether.:fuzwink:

**** these forums. I wrote a big long message and that shit came up and I lost it.
In short, it depends on the TV.

Widescreen. See Oddguy's post for the reason...

RavenMM 12-07-2003 11:11 AM

does those black bars on the widescreen veiw go when you get a wide screen tv?

Sekto Springs 12-07-2003 11:44 AM

yes the good thing about widescreen TVs is that the bars dont show

In more recent years, I have enjoyed widescreen a lot, as you dont loose any of the picture. For other movies that dont have any battles etc, I usually go for full screen, as it doesnt really matter about loosing background elements.:fuzsmile:

Wide Screen, for sure!

Seeing I don't have room for anything other than a crappy small screen TV, I have no choice other than to watch full screen.

I would prefer widescreen if I had a TV that either was only widescreen, or it was a big larger and switching views didn't make everything even more smaller.

Full screen, I think... But not all the time. It depends on the movie.
