^Lol 21:9

man that sony looks nuts

wow... the sony is insane!

I always wondered why they never came out with this.. fuck. This is epic. When is it available? edit: oh nevermind it's available this spring haha. woop.

How much??

who really needs a 21:9 tv?

For a true theatre experience.

I use my TV for mostly movies..

Movies (75%)
Wii (10%)
NHL (10%)
regular TV shows (5%)

Why don't they just call it a 7:3 instead of 21:9 ?

It kinda makes sense if you watch nothing but movies. Other stuff, like regular broadcasts, and video games would get the black bars on the sides. I'm sure you could make those fit to screen, but you wouldn't get the whole intended picture.

LG showed a 480 hz LCD at CES.

Now that most people have got 19x9 tv's there switching to 21:9 tv's.

Check out this masking system for projectors.

It says this though from that link..

"Using highly advanced formatting technology, regular 16:9 content from sources such as TV broadcasts and games consoles is also adapted to fill the 21:9 screen."

Yep, I noticed that. My last sentence still stands, though. If the image is scaled to fit the whole screen, you'll lose parts of the scene, just like on current TVs. You'd likely lose more of the scene on a 21:9 vs 16:9.

There are projector accessories that project a super-wide image (cinema-scope adapters or something). I forgot what it is but it displays the entire 2.39:1 image with no bars and no scaling. However this a TV and would suit more people.

I also agree that this would really only be ideal with a movie-only setup. Since 16:9 != 21:9, Presto is right to assume for all intents and purposes that there will be scaling.

Nonetheless, I can't imagine watching a full 2.39:1 movie sans letterboxing at home on a big screen with no scaling. :eek:
