I saw a guy from philips talking about this on TV and he was asked if it was a problem that most broadcast is in 16:9. He said that the TV would just stretch the picture so it filled the screen, and that it didn't matter if everything looked wider, because bigger = better!
What a happy funtimein idiot. What self-respecting film/TV/sports fan is gonna watch a stretched image??
The correct aspect ratio should always be preserved. The guy had no clue. I can't help but wondering how anyone working with video in any form can make such a braindead statement?  Okay, if we were talking resolution I'd agree, but is Philips actually expecting the world to re-invent the Blu-Ray disc with a resolution of 2560*1080, just to "fit" their screen? | | | | The future is here.

| | Posted: | | | | I can't watch anything that isn't at the proper aspect. My mind keeps reminding me that that circle isn't a circle and distracting me by insisting I fix it.
That said, the TV should have a zoom setting which will crop off the letterbox for a proper fit. | | | | Last edited: by Dr. Killpatient |

The Philips in the OP isn't going to be cheap either.  Correct: the SRP will be 3,999 euros. |
