If having to select between the differing kinds of technologies for my HDTV Widescreen was not enough there are the other considerations I had to think of when I went to shop for my HDTV Widescreen.
Did I Need a Widescreen?
Although some makers still offer HDTVs in the older square-ish formats and come with a lower price tags. And most local television networks, though broadcasting in hi-def, still stick with the popularly known 4:3 ratio vs the cinematic ratio of 16:9. The answer was as asking myself, what’s the point in going high-def without going wide? Purposeless . My HD experience, when it came to pictures and a few other networks broadcasting in both HD and wide formats, would then be impeded by the lack of width in my unit.
In Proportion
At first I was so happy I had saved up enough to purchase an HDTV Widescreen sufficiently large to just be squished between the two parallel walls of my living room. Good thing I went window shopping in malls and other independent appliance stores and that I did not depend on the pictures online. I discovered that I may actually go pointlessly wide which will be bad for up close viewing as the issues will be much more obvious. Think having a look at something with a magnifying glass. I managed to jump this hurdle by measuring the distance between my couch and the spot where my HDTV Widescreen will be sitting at home and duplicating this distance when I am looking at those in display in the shops.
No problem with watching shows in 4:3 ratio as I will simply set my HDTV Widescreen to either crop, stretch or put up with “pillarbox”.
