RE: Blu-Ray, letter boxing and zoom

I don't like black bars taking up 25% of my 60" screen that I paid hard earned money for. A playback of DVD or BD on a 60" display is not the same as seeing an epic movie in a theater be it home or otherwise where there are ways to deal with the aspect ratio that does not affect the enjoyment of the event. Letterboxing affects my enjoyment of video entertainment. IMO, I am far from a soccer mom or joe six pack slob for wanting to be able to adjust the picture to suit me. But you are right about one thing...I have been second guessing/having buyers remorse over my new Panny BD machine. Luckily I have another few weeks to decide whether to send it back or not. 720/1080 broadcasts still look better on my display than the admittedly one BD that I have and those broadcasts are via a 6 year old HD cable box.
