If anything I'm noticing an improvment and less Screen Door Effect. Normally when you watch 2.35 material on an 16:9 projector, your not using all of the panels pixels, actually your missing out on 33% of the pixels which are taken up by the black bars. By vertically stretching the material to fill the height (which makes everything look skinny) your making use of these lost pixels. Keep in mind this is not Zooming the picture. The Anamorphic lens Horizontally stretches the picture back out to fill the 2.35 screen and make the image normal. Projectors vary on their lumen ratings, but on average you can expect an increase in brightness around 20% because your using the full panel display.

Over at AVS forum this 2.35 constant height idea has really picked up speed. There is actually a 2.35 forum for those that have taken the cinemascope step. Once you go there you wonder how you ever lived with Black Bars on wider AR movies.
