Re: VM S-t-r-e-t-c-h-y vision - when can we have 16:9 broadcasts?
 

I can't believe that this question has been seriously asked :rolleyes:

Whether you stretch it or VM stretches it it's still being stretched and will never be a true 16:9 format..

Just turn off WSS on your TV and set everything to 16:9 :rolleyes:

Personally though I'd rather not see Judith Sheindlin's face any more stretched.. I don't think my heart could take it..

Oh on a simple note you could ask VM to take some 16:9 cameras back in time and ask them to film every single 4:3 show with them.. or is that as ridiculous as this request???
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

... and you could always insist on telling the world you're feeling gay when you wake up in a good mood. You may have pedantry on your side, but most people will assume you mean something else.

The entire TV industry uses 4:3 - without exception - when referring to pre-16:9 aspect ratio. But if feeling right is more important to you than being understood, you go right ahead.

Chris he could have his screen rotated by 90 degrees and be truly watching 3:4 and 9:16 format.. Perhaps that's why he wants the picture stretching to Lowry proportions :rofl:

You would be wrong.

Re: VM S-t-r-e-t-c-h-y vision - when can we have 16:9 broadcasts?
 

So,do I understand this correctly now,it is not 3:4 but 4:3, i'm shocked:shocked:

Re: VM S-t-r-e-t-c-h-y vision - when can we have 16:9 broadcasts?
 

You're telling that to the wrong person

...because i posted 3:4 instead of 4:3 i was completely mis-understood??????

Dont think is adding much to the thread

There are a number of channels still broadcasting on all platforms in 4:3, notably from Turner Broadcasting (CNN, Cartoon Network, TCM), the various kids and music channels and the majority of the higher numbers on each EPG area. Nothing to do with VM - complain to the broadcaster. I suspect your Judge Judy was not recorded in widescreen as ITV is normally in widescreen.
16:9 adoption has been slower than "the last twenty years" as the US lagged behind until it moved to digital HD standards.

I can handle that for you.

Re: VM S-t-r-e-t-c-h-y vision - when can we have 16:9 broadcasts?
 

The simple answer is to set the TV to 4:3 aspect ratio. Anything that is not broadcast with a Widescreen ID will revert to 4:3 automatically. Some broadcasters (Eurosport for example) process 4:3 pictures so they are pillarboxed on widescreen TV's. However this then affects anyone watching on an older 4:3 TV, who will still see the black borders.

Now i will need another reason to finish off those cans :)
