RE: Re: [OT] Harry Potter DVD - Whats the deal ????

["Keith Doxey" <lists.diyha@xxxxxxx>]

I assume you are talking about "True Lies"

I dont mind that. Its a 16:9 picture on my 4:3 TV and I have about 2"
bars
top and bottom on the 28" TV. Had the HP DVD been 16:9 I would have
bought
it but the one they are selling as Widescreen would have given at least
4"
bars on my TV. At least when I got round to buying a WS set the picture I
am
currently looking at would fill the screen. The thought of buying a new
TV
to rid myself of the black bars only to find I still get them would be a
tad
annoying to say the least.

I'm dreading the simiulated failure of the red and blue guns in a few
weeks
when TV screens will be filled with green pictures....I think its
called
Football :-(((
