This reminds me of the early days of the Philips [12 inch] Laserdisc format, on
alt.video.laserdisc(still active)in Usenet we had one noob always complaining about the top and bottom black bars, we had a hell of a time telling him that was a release showing how the movie was originally filmed. Plus if you were buying, you had to watch the serial/product numbers because many titles were both Pan & Scan to fill 4:3 TVs or Widescreen and best for larger tubes or projection sets.

My 130s have the zoom feature and last night's 'CBC Late Night Movie' required the use of the zoom but fills the 16:10[not 16:9] of the Acer Computer monitor without cropping but they recently screwed up the latest airing of "Little Big Man" because the wide image had to be zoomed[reducing the bars to top and bottom instead of all around] whereas the previous broadcast of it was 'native', i.e. not needing any zoom.
