Well I don't like using the Zoom mode or any of 16:9 4:3 14:9 modes as they crop off the side of the image horizontal. If you had other modes on your tv you might change your mind. I want to see more width image if stretched squashed I don't mind as long as I can see more width image. I use the (Just Scan mode)

I use the (Just Scan mode) I don't want cropped sides, but cannot stand a distorted image either. I'm very surprised your TV doesn't allow you to zoom a 4:3 image with widescreen letterboxed in it to fit a 16:9 screen without causing cropping or distortion, I thought this sort of zoom would be a pretty standard mode on any TV?

substance wrote: Last emperors aspect ratio is the cinematographers approved ratio. He specifically asked it to be framed that way. Also this, and maybe I'm a chump and maybe it is a money ploy, but in these cases I will go with what Criterion and the filmmakers say. "From the start of this project, Bertolucci has insisted that Storaro have ultimate approval of the mastering of the feature. This master was made in Rome under Storaro’s direct supervision, with Bertolucci’s approval. When we asked Storaro about the framing of the film, he unhesitatingly told us that the correct aspect ratio for The Last Emperor was 2:1, even though the film was commonly projected at 2.35:1. He told us that The Last Emperor was the first film he shot specifically for 2.0 framing, and Bertolucci backs him up. Our mission is to present each film as its makers would want it to be seen, and in this case the director and cinematographer asked that we release their film in the format they say they had always envisioned. We had quite a lot of discussion over this, and we certainly knew it would be controversial, but in the end the decision was not made by us. It was made, as it should be, by the filmmakers."

Spinning side 3 of Carlito's Way (1993) dtsCarlito's Way (AB shootout) Carlito's Way (2007) [825 313 0]The scope framing on the HD-DVD is poorly lousy video engineering really sloppy cropping off the image with a slight zoom in on the scope image. The Laserdisc exhibits wide image of the scope 2.35:1 that I have liked with Brian De Palm, films. The dts sound mix on the Laserdisc leaves the HD-DVD Dolby Plus 5.1 in shame. The lacking of bass and actual level of the mix is around so -10db softer, hardly cinematic. I think I'll stick with Laserdisc and bluray is no better with all these near field mixes ruining the soundtrack art form of the original theatrical mix. Laserdisc is the King format still sorry HD format can't stomach the scamming of hollywood milking us consumers as we're all thick? I'm sick and tried it. dts Laserdisc HD-DVD dts Laserdisc HD-DVD

New title arrival today New Jack City (1991)Dolby Stereo / Lucasfilm Ltd THX Sound System / JBL The Dolby Stereo is cool on it for 1991 with some cool matrix use of the mono surrounds in chapter 2 with a small case on foot with BMX bike and train passing by along the LCR to matrix MS. Dialogue track is clearly understandable with faint distance honking car horns and mild rap music playing in small chit/chat scene in chapter 3. OBE-SW beats vibrates the seats. Picture quality is Laserdisc good no laser-rot seen. Brightness contrast and colours looked fine.

That is why LaserDisc is so cool: relive childhood in style baby! haha definitely! The Evil that Men Do, never seen it, love the Death Wish franchise though. Sounds bad a**.
