Still won't stop complaints about black bars

Jostenmeat,

This is a cool display, but if you are watching a DVD that is 1.85:1, 1.77:1, 1.33:1 etc., black bars may still be displayed and therefore it won't stop people from asking "Why do I have black bars on my widescreen TV?"

yeah I know man. Heck, even with 2.37, 2.39, 2.40 will you still have black bars! Granted, small ones, but still Happy

Maybe they sell an automatic curtain masking system for it, LOL.
