Actually, a properly set-up 16:9 screen will give
you bars on MOST movies because most movies are
shot in 1.85.
I suppose that will never change either. I own around 200 DVD's. Out of those probably 80% are 1.85. And less than a dozen are 16:9. Sure, they might say anamorphically enhanced 16:9 widescreen. But then it will say aspect ratio is 1.85, or higher.
So black bars are almost always on my TV. Since the size of a widescreen TV will never change let's talk the studios in to filming only in 16:9 :)
