Hi
Can anyone explain why when I look at Plasma screens in the shops they have letterbox black bits at the top / bottom or sides?
I thought that the purpose of buying a widescreen is to do away with such things - although I do not have a widescreen tv at the moment (saving for Panasonic 42") I have been making sure that the DVD's I buy are in widescreen - is this wrong?
When I ask in the shops I have been given 20 different explanations - the best being that they are designed for Japanese widescreen, not European (we were watching a Hollywood movie).......
