The only reason I'd buy that would be to burn it. I see video buffs
using them with projectors that could do any shape they wanted
(limited by choice of media of course) and just think they are sheep who
can't think for themself.
Think simply about what you can see without a screen, concentrate on
the vertical and then horizontal, do you really think that you see in
slats?
People don't see in slats, they see in an "aspect ratio." I definitely
see wider than taller and most people do unless you're "Borg". :-D
You can't fill your vision with widescreen unless you lose the edges.
IMAX is the most immersive experience I've had at a cinema purely
because it is 4:3.
That depends on where you sit, doesn't it? I sit about 8' from my 53"
16:9 TV and can see the whole screen. So I bet you're weren't a happy
camper when the UK went to EDTV? :-D
I believe it comes down to wall shape (cinemas wanting screens as big
as possible) and ease of building film sets as well as wall shape in
studios.
Big tapestries are widescreen (wall shape), most paintings are almost
square.
Really? I think you need to get out more often. In the meantime we'll
have to agree to disagree. :-)
