If its a "Widescreen" film its not meant to be across the whole screen, you will have black lines top and bottom.
If its a Widescreen set and your viewing an old TV show its not meant to fill the screen you should have black lines left and right.0 -
OK, what model of TV is it, and what DVD player?
Is the DVD playing with black bars top and bottom, or is it playing with black all the way around it?1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?0 -
Bear in mind that even if it is a widescreen TV, you might still get black bars top and bottom.
Domestic widescreen is 1920x1080 = 16:9 aspect ratio, or 1.78:1
Cinematic widescreen can be anything up to 2.55:1, so much more width per unit of height, hence black bars top and bottom.
