Hi,
I have a question about something that confuses me.
I have a projector that is natively 16:9 (Sony VPL VW60) and I use home-made masks to view Scope movies (2:35:1... or whatever.)
So,... this isn't the anamorphic lens method and not the zoom method either...
Now, my question is do any new projectors just let you use a scope ratio and scale everything else to fit without distortion?...
I realize this would be throwing away resolution on everything that isn't scope ratio but most of what I watch is scope ratio... so I would be willing to let the 16:9 and other ratios suffer.
I think video processors can do this... But some new projectors I have been looking at claim to have processing so that you can do scope ratio without lens or zooming ... is it true, that this simple feature has been added or ... not really?
