After having my FP setup for about a year and a half now (120" diagonal 16:9), I have come around to agreeing with those who prefer a constant height setup, making the real wide aspect films the largest presentation as they were meant to be.
By agreeing, I mean wishing I could make my screen wider. I am not so enamored of the idea that I am shrinking my 16:9 films down to size, but if and when I do my next setup, it will incorporate this arrangement (as well as being RP if I can swing it).
It also means you are either wasting resolution one way or the other, or need to buy some extra lenses. But that would be worth it to me I think at this point
Anyone else feel this way? Occurred to me when my wife complained the screen WASN"T BIG ENOUGH during LOTR. Love my wife.
