Your brain automatically compensates. Its partly a matter of training your brain, and partly a genetics thing. You'll find that after awhile you have to really concentrate to detect the difference. | | | John

| | Posted: | | | | I agree with John for the most part, the only times i really notice it is on sports programming. But, I watch the majority of that in HD anyway.
My TV has a Super Stretch mode, it not only stretches the side out, but a bit of the top and bottom to make a more uniform stretch. The ONLY time I really notice the stretching as I said is on sports programming. I have no idea why that is either. | | | | Signature banned: Reason out of date... |

| | Posted: | | | | I notice even when the aspect ratio is even only slightly off. I notice when perportions change from vertical to horizontal. I don't want to train my brain to ignore it, I want to watch the movie the way it was meant to be watched.
So what if I get black bars on the bottom or sides. I have a 53" HDTV, it's a big image no matter what.
One of my old receivers was playing the sound a fraction of a second behind with optical. I noticed something was odd a quarter of the way through a movie and figured it out by the time I was half way through. When something hit something else, the impact sound wasn't at the exact same moment. Spent a half hour running a pool game on one TV input and another on the 360 comparing the impact sounds. When I had enough proof that it was the receiver's fault, I went out and immediately replaced it because I wasn't going to watch any more movies until I did so. |

Why on earth would anyone stretch movies? | | | | Signature banned: Reason out of date... |
