| | Posted: | | | | Widescreen Version: Presented in a "matted" widescreen format preserving the 1.85 aspect ratio of its original theatrical exhibition
This is what the Case shows
but on my Widescreen TV there are black bars on all 4 sides. So is this Still widescreen or other |

| | Posted: | | | | you'll get ( thick) black bars all around on a 16 x9 TV with no anamorphic signal being recognised or acknowledged .. for 2.35 .. larger box for 1.85 . | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

Some tools will tell you whether it is anamorphic or not. DVD Decrypter will do this.

Skip So will either bars on the sides or a swished picture on a 16X9 monitor. Bars if your player is set for 4X3, swish if set for 16X9. I prefer zoom 1 (your zoom number may vary based on TV), fills the screen, keeps proportions.  |
