DVD. Anamorphic 1.85:1. That's all you need.
I bought a widescreen TV because I was sick of borders on DVD & VHS.
So now we have movies up to 2.40:1 on DVD, giving borders even on a widescreen telly, leaving about a quarter of the screen unused.
Just how bloody wide does an image have to be?
There's seldom anything worth seeing at the edge of the screen anyway, so why not crop to 1.85:1 for a DVD release?
At this rate we'll end up with TV's six feet wide and 2 pixels high.

Yeah, it's really annoying trying to watch a DVD with those borders around.
