Anyway, I realize the difference between widescreen and fullscreen displays. I have long prefered the widescreen or letterbox formats to a regular fullscreen as I like to see the whole image, even if it is a little smaller on my screen.

What I am wondering about is why all the movies I have that are wide screen format movies still have horizontal bars (top and bottom) on my new wide screen 780p lcd hdtv. I thought when I switched from my computer with a non-hidef resolution to a real tv with the proper resolution for widescreen that those lines would go away and it would fill my screen.

The horizontal space is not 780 lines but 768

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
