because all tv's are a set aspect ratio, 16:9, most tv shows opt to maintain that standard. but not all tv is uniform. some shows will definitely play with aspect ratio. The Wire specifically chose 4:3 on purpose. The Expanse used wider aspect ratio on some scenes over others as well.OK, what about TV shows like Parks and Rec. They look pretty awesome, which aspect ratio is that?
oh yeah how terrible sorryCan't believe people paid money to see black bars at a theatre, why didn't they zoom it.
1.78 :1. TV shows usually film in 16:9.OK, what about TV shows like Parks and Rec. They look pretty awesome, which aspect ratio is that?
Finally the true experience like my TV intended.

OK but what aspect ratio is The Dark Knight? that is full screen on my 📺TV shows are made for TVs. Movies are made for theaters.
Also, Full Screen = 4:3, not 1.85:1.
IMAX ratio is different than a traditional film ratio. Very few movies are shot with IMAX cameras so why would they use an IMAX ratio? FIlms are shot in an aspect ratio for traditional theater screens.
LMAO
This is just getting sad man, how many times are people going to correct you before you'll stop using "full screen"OK but what aspect ratio is The Dark Knight? that is full screen on my 📺
If he's young he probably won't really. We're that old now.The director's vision needs to be preserved.
Remember pan and scan? Lmao
Some scenes in TDK were shot for IMAX, which is either 16:9 or close to it. That's why some scenes will fill up your TV. Though I don't know if it was the case for all scenes in the movie.OK but what aspect ratio is The Dark Knight? that is full screen on my 📺
/Threadthe black bars let you see more of the image, not less.
your TV is not the same shape as widescreen film.
I like watching 4:3 on my Sony PVM in 480i if possible (and usually it's not). It's fun to watch stuff in a period-accurate way.99% of things I watch are in 4:3 aspect ratio, so I'm very used to pillar boxing.
What I can't comprehend is....why does Sid think movies should be filmed for an IMAX aspect ratio when 99.9% of movies are not shown on IMAX screens?Some scenes in TDK were shot for IMAX, which is either 16:9 or close to it.

why are you making me vomit

It's why I still prefer DVDs of old standard def shows when I can get my hands on them.
This made me laugh audibly.
Yes same. When I was a kid I was obsessed with stretching the image to fit. What an ignorant young fool I was haha. Now I'm obsessed with original ratio, the black bars give me comfort in these uncertain times. :P
The lack of one standard is annoying. It would be nice to buy a wide screen TV and all media to have been recorded on whatever that aspect ratio was. Obviously going from 4:3 to wide there's no way around bars, though.
I really, really loved The Lighthou-
Just as embarrassing as people that support 30 fps in games.
