In Reply to: RE: This may be a silly question But what will the aspect ratio be after the digital conversion in 09? posted by artemus on May 02, 2008 at 19:20:09

Aside from HD, You get a much better view of the playing field (Hockey, soccer, American pointy-ball (aka "Football"), basketball, etc... with 16:9 Sports broadcasts. And since most films are at an even wider aspect ratio, it helps to have 16:9 display capability.

I don't even know if you can buy a 4:3 display anymore.

      • That's something of an unfair benchmark - racerguy 22:17:05 05/07/08 (0)
