I've seen a "revolutionary" panasonic tv advert recently that reckons they're tv is "cinema proportion" at 21:9. Rediculous, I've never seen a cinema that shape and wouldn't go if there was one. The local 3d Imax is almost square and it's much better!!. I'm not sure if the problem is those stupid bullshit papers with the "finger test" that reckon your eyes work in widescreen, EVEN THOUGH THE PUPILS ARE ROUND AND FOCUS ON A SINGLE POINT or film makers wanting people to have a worse experience at home and so pay to go to the cinema, what are those black lines on dvds for anyway????. IMHO, if it wasn't a challenge or more expensive to make screens round then they would have stayed that way and then we wouldn't have all this rubbish. Kc
