4:3 or 16:9?

[Jason]

Oh yes, it's time for a thrilling poll about aspect ratios.

It's kind of been bugging me lately as I've noticed a lot of the TV show boxsets I buy are in 4:3 even though they're fairly recent shows and should be in widescreen. It's OK when I watch it on my standard TV but when I watch it on my plasma it's just annoying. Thankfully, most movies I buy are in 16:9 but there are the odd few that aren't.

I always make sure that my movies are widescreen (16:9). Even if I'm using a fullscreen TV, I still prefer widescreen. So 16:9, easily.

[Jason]

Yeah, I don't mind watching widescreen shows on my full screen TV. There's only 2 smallish black bars at the top and bottom which are easy to ignore, so yeah I wish every DVD I had was in widescreen

I have a widescreen so widescreen obviously. Watchingmovies in letterbox is awful.

[Pocket Ponyo]

Widescreen for me, too.

[Jye]

Definetly Widescreen.

Good lord. Pocket Ponyo, that avatar is the largest thing I've ever seen
