Just got a copy of Casino Royale on DVD. Playing through a Samsung DVD 870 ( soon to be replaced with a Denon DVD 1940) and the screen on my Samsung 1024 X 768 resolution plasma is taken up with a bold balck bar along the top and bottom of the display.
The TV is set to 16.9 but the DVD's Aspect Ratio is: 2.40.1.
Why can't I fill the whole dispaly of the TV........Am I being short changed here?
I've also noticed that there a different versions of DVD's in the shops. For example Harry Potter and Casino Royale are at different prices....why is this? Is it because some of the same named DVD films are shot in different Aspect Ratios.? Can I get a copy of Casino Royale to fill my screen without compromising on the picture quality?
The more I read and look into all this the more I can't help feeling that millions of us are being conned out of our money?
