Re: Help reading blu labels
Just curious, how come your posts are always formatted like this? I can always tell it's you posting by the overuse of the enter key and almost zero use of the shift key.
But why does it look like the enter key's used so much? Is it because of the device you're using?

Wow! So much for asking for help and expecting to receive anything but insults. I'm new to blu-ray, but I'm no troll.
I understand that these bars are common and that they have to do with how the movie was filmed. All I was saying is that I'd like to learn how to avoid them in the discs I buy.
Thanks to fitprod for providing the information I was seeking. This will help.

In any case did you see my post? Those 21x9 tvs will give you exactly what you are asking for. NO black bars in your movies.
That is the only remedy to your problem, unless you buy a plasma with rich black levels to hide well the black bars at night and matching the tv bezel.

The movies are fine, there's no way. It's up to the display you're watching to give you the full image.

And geez can you imagine the bloodletting from displaying a 4:3 image on a 21:9 display? I shudder to think what 4:3 would look like stretched that much.

Re: Help reading blu labels
Very good questions. I too imagine those aspect ratios would look not so good on these 21x9 sets. Especially 4x3 which probably is a nightmare to watch. I think these sets probably only cater to 2:35.1. I assume the rest will probably look very small, with lots of blank area lol
It's incredible to me that people can sit in movie theaters and be looking right at the screen when the curtains open up from 1.85 to 2.35 and not understand why they do that.

Unless you only buy 1:78 or 1:85 or use some controls on the dvd player or the tv to stretch the image.
Here is a thought, there are no black bars. You are referring to the area of the screen where there is no image. What you are seeing with a 2:35 aspect ratio is all the image there is.

Being "properly configured" has little to do with it. It's simply the architecture of the theater. In my experience, in most multiplexes it's half and half. The larger auditoriums are "common height," which means the mattes on the sides are adjustable. In smaller auditoriums, the screens are usually "common width," with the matte coming down from above.
