I recently bought Angel series 1 on DVD and found out it is fullscreen 4:3 hope it won't spoil my enjoyment of watching the DVDs, does the picture look fine or bad?

Not strickly true. A DVD with the ration of 1.85 would be full screen on a widescreen TV. But films that are released in 2.35 actually have borders on a widescreen TV, if the screen is set to widescreen on the DVD player.

I think that helps thanks ÂLŠ†ÂÎR.
The 24 Box Set runs very nicely in Anamorphic widescreen. However I couldn't really forgive the fact that its in Dolby 2.0?! Still, with a series that is as good as that I could over look this rather simple error.

Yes your TV will be a 4:3 aspect ratio so it will look fine running on it. If you had a widescreen however all your wide screen DVD's would be full screen (if you understand what I mean). Thats the Beauty of having a widescreen TV but for Anamorphic and 4:3 aspect ratios your TV will be fine.
Hope this helps!

Sorry for being a bit dumb, but I don't have a clue what type of TV I have, It's a normal large sized TV (NOT widescreen) all DVDs I have bought looks fine on my TV.
Well you can only buy Angel Season 1 as 4:3 so your stuck with that. It wont look bad on a 4:3 and wouldnt look bad on a 16:9 TV. We have a widescreen TV downstairs and watching 4:3 aspect on that even at fullscreen on the widescreen isn't any worst than people think.
Any way I think Angel was filmed in 4:3 so the picture should be good. I normally buy the widescreen editions of films and watch them on my 4:3 TV in letter box only as I prefer this to having a 4:3 picture on a DVD. With the boxsets I would actually prefer a 4:3 screen as thats how they are shown on TV.

It looks fine. I take it you don't have a Widescreen? It only looks bad when you change the mode on the DVD player to run Widescreen films in full screen format when you don't have a widescreen TV. The quality isn't as good as the widescreen with some DVD's in 4:3 but it depends on whether the time was taken with the translation.
