The black bars still show on widescreen monitors because of how the dvd was encoded. Slightly different aspect ratios are used by different companies, which causes them to sometimes have skinny bars, fat bars, or no bars. Unfortunately most widescreen DVD's are not setup to have no bars.



But I still love my widescreen LCD.

A 20 inch monitor and a DVDROM go well together. Especially letterboxed when I can turn the V-size down to squish the screen and make it a high resolution 16x9.

Same here, when I can find them.



Am I the only one here who can watch movies at a framerate that's a multiple of 24fps? I set the monitor to 72Hz, and it looks more moviescreenish than all your guys' NTSC based (60Hz) stuff.
