I've watched a few Blu-Ray films since getting the PS3 and TV.
Some annoy me though, and I'll tell you why.
Why the heck on widescreen TV's, do they still set the aspect ratio on them in such a way that you still get borders?
I've only watched 1 blu-ray film that actually works at full 16:9 my TV supports, without black bars on the top and bottom, and that was the original Spiderman Blu-Ray film in this set my mate bought. The other 2 in the set have borders, which made the first film appear to have a better quality image than the latest offerings.
This shouldn't happen with a widescreen TV, since its meant to be wiiiddeeee and so show right. It was fine when I had a 4:3 TV, but now I have a 16:9 I expected all films to appear full screen.
Looking at the back, ones that show 2:35:1 and 2:40:1 appear with black bars, and most HD-DVD's I've seen show at 2:35:1.
Why have they decided to do this?
