Xbox + HDTV - I've got questions

[Schlep]

Avia's $37 and Digital Video Essentials is $18 at Amazon.

You're going to have black bars on some DVDs regardless because movies are primarily filmed in two different aspect ratios: 2.35:1 and 1.85:1 (I think those are right). DVDs that are anamorphic and shot in 1.85:1 should fit correctly on your TV as long as everything is setup correctly, but 2.35:1 movies will still have the black bars. I don't really know too much about widescreen TVs, but I'm pretty sure that info is correct.

That was my question. I just assumed that Animatrix would be animorphic, but I guess I was wrong.

Thanks for the help.




I seem like I get a TON of jaggies playing Xbox or PS2 through the component cables. Is this normal?

The fun part of owning an HDTV is that you get to notice how shitty a lot of things look.
