As long as they can pretty much see the actors, they don't give a poo poo. Nobody gives as poo poo. It loving sucks. I visited my parents recently (who have a new HDTV) and my father told me to make sure that every time a show came on in 4:3 (or in his words "has the black bars on the sides") to switch it so it gets stretched out. He said the guy at the store told him that the black bars could burn the image into the screen and hurt the picture. Even if the show is only half an hour. I recall TVs having those kinds of problems years ago, but is it still an issue? From what you guys are saying, it sounds like it's not a problem.

Ah, good to know. I'm sure my father will never be convinced and always insist on stretching it, but at least I can try to inform him now.

FishBulb posted:I hope your parents actually listen. My wife's parents don't believe anything I say because they are older than me and know better. Well, I just talked to my dad and he basically said that he didn't spend that much money on a tv to take a chance of ruining it. I suggested that I could send him some articles proving my point, but he insisted that he spoke to the manager at the store, so that guy obviously knows more about TVs than the internet. Although he finally admitted that I might be right, he is going to keep stretching because he "doesn't want to take the chance." God bless parents...
