Wes,

When you look at the wide, wide world, using only your eyes, you do not
see a square. You see an image that is wider than it is high. Thus we
have widescreen in the movies, and now widescreen in the videos. It is
to immerse us more in the image of the wide world.

When I use my eyes, I and everyone else has a certain focal point. That
point of usable vision is not wide. In fact, it is very very small and
center oriented. The farther back you get from the focal point gets
larger, but it doesn't get any wider than it does taller. This alone makes
anything except a square for a TV image a bad choice. And if you think
that's BS you can test this yourself easily right now. Keep one word
focused so you can clearly read it and then try and read several words
past it. Wide screen is nothing more than a gimmick. I has no useful
purpose past scenery. Any good TV show or movie will have the subject
matter in the middle of the screen. And There's virtually nothing out side
the center square of a 16:9 set of any interest.

Since bigjimp has been promoted to idiot of the week the position of
idiot of the day is open. Are you trying for it with that post?

Frankly, I couldn't care less how you want to classify me. I'll let my
facts speak for me.
