why do people get hung up on 16:9 vs 4:3 screens- surely they are the same thing i.e it just means that on the 4:3 ratio one that you can position it wherever you want on the screen- lower or higher but on the 16:9 one it does not go as far down so you are limited by what you can do
ismangil said:No, they are not the same. On a 16:9 screen there are black borders that leaves a white viewing area exactly 16:9 ratio. That means if you do 'force' a native (ie not letterboxed or anything by the projector) 4:3 image then the top of that image will be on the top black border -- not visible!
So it's the top border that's 'in the way'...
aetbaar said:what i meant was that you are not gaining anything by haveing a 16:9 ratio screen but if you have a 4:3 one then if you dont want to watch widescreen films then you get to see the full picture that would be blacked out as you said on the 16:9
aetbaar said:can you paint blackout blinds with fabric paint effectively? i.e if i get a cream one then paint it white... cyurrently going for £50 on ebay for 2.4m wide- dont know if i can afford a drh screen
aetbaar said:i guess i could put a thin bit of mdf attached to the ceiling the same length as the blind and then attach the blind to that- may be a bit messy?
anyone else got any other ideas?
