Which do you prefer for movies? Widescreen (black bars) or fullscreen (takes up all of the TV)?
Personally, I like WS since you get the whole picture that way.
grrr people should buy widescreen tv’s anyways
people should buy high resolution (definition) TV anyway

I got a 67" widescreen tv, so widescreen all the way.
Widescreen is the only way to go.
I will be getting myself a plasma TV this year. Hopefully within the next 6-8 months. (/me starts to drool)

TV???
Who’s got time to watch TV?

Interesting question indeed.
I just bought a digital recorder/decoder so I wouldn’t have to go through adds and zap through 100 + channels. That way I can watch 1-2 good movies a week, plus a few good programs, and do other things the rest of the time.
I chose that over a wide screen TV, which I won’t buy as long as HDTV isn’t more broadcasted.
I’ll just stick with my old black and white Motorola thank you! 
Gas or electric ?
Well, my TV’s got a broken capacitor or something, so if the movie’s full screen, about the top 10 lines aren’t visible, but overlap the 10 below it. Except when it’s a black letterbox.
W----I----D----E----S----C----R----E----E----N
is better (ahem, better for me).

Probably steam.
why not just buy a decent dvd player and use the screen fit function on a wide screen format dvd - problems solved for everyone!
