Just to throw another wrench in, consider that some material is 4:3 (oldies, TV shows, DVD "bonus features"). If your screen is fixed at 2.35:1, you'll have a great setup for some material but a tiny screen on others. I have a 16:9 screen and I wish I got an equally wide 4:3 for the occasional oldie (or occasional DVD that was fullscreen from my pre-HT days), and accept the larger bars on top/bottom. --Martin
