OT: go-default screens.

[Nathan England]

The subject of this thread is mis-leading as my HTC Hero spell correction
changed my hi-def subject to go-default, go figure.. ha ha

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.
