PS2 on Big Screen TV???
« Reply #32 on: January 10, 2001, 07:41:31 AM »
Thanks for the input guys! Ive decided to stay with a HD TV, but Im gonna check out the widescreens. I was looking at a Toshiba 40H80 HD widescreen which brings me to my new question. Are widescreen TVs measured the same as 4:3 TVs? From the pictures this Toshiba looks like a much smaller screen than the 43" 4:3 TV. Also, if a VCR movie is in widescreen format will it now have black bars on the sides and top and bottom? Does anyone have the TV I mentioned above? Just curious.

BTW I check the home theater forum but didn\'t find any answers.

Mushroomed,

At the risk of getting my arse jumped all over again,,, I will try to help you out a little.

The measurements you refer to are the diagonal measurement of the screen. A 40" wide screen is just about the same width as a 43" 4:3 screen(sorta), but bear in mind that the 4:3 screen is a lot taller. You will get a lot more viewing area on the 43" 4:3 screen but only when watching 4:3 material.


Earlier on this post I was comparing a 61" 4:3 to a 55" 16:9 as far as the viewing area of 16:9 material. This is the same thing, pretty much. I haven\'t gotten out a tape measure to figure out which size 4:3 screens were equivelent to which size 16:9 screens for widescreen material but this effect is perhaps what you have noticed. Hope this helps.

First off if you have an HDTV widescreen set don\'t ever put a VCR tape on it.  It\'s like painting the mona lisa with crayons.  I\'m just kidding of course but what you would do is zoom the black bars out of the shot.  You wouldn\'t want to realy do this though.  Just go rent the DVD..

Thanks, I really appreciate it.

Although I did find avsforum.com and hometheatertalk.com today and I already knew about http://www.thedigitalbits.com, but I\'ll check the other two sites out. :)
