Re: New 21:9 Aspect Ratio TVs On The Way

I think that the best way to watch movies with a ratio larger than 16:9 is to get a bigger tv or better, a front projector....

No argument there.  I'm already watching 16:9 content through a CIH projector onto a 2.35:1 screen.

 

I absolutely love the look of the 2.35 screen even when it is not in use which is why I am excited about the 21:9 TV sets.  It just looks so much more cooler in a home theatre.  The loss in resolution is a small price to pay.

Re: New 21:9 Aspect Ratio TVs On The Way

But I have to admit that a 21:9 flat screen would have a enormous high-tech look in my home theater...

Re: New 21:9 Aspect Ratio TVs On The Way

At CES this year I passed by the Hisense exhibit where there was a big crowd around a large 21:9 LCD. It was stunning - very long/sleek and somehow extremely compelling. In fact, I believe it would integrate into a living room as a picture display over the fireplace quite nicely. I do agree with the resolution comments in this thread, but for a living room or other space where the height of a conventional panel can be overwhelming, this might be the ticket!

Well Vizio just announced the 58" 21:9 flatscreen. Wonder how long it's going to take FS to stop it. Might buy one.

Re: New 21:9 Aspect Ratio TVs On The Way

I think I am actually holding out for one of these.  I do hope Future Shop carries them, but so far, I have not seen Vizio products at Future Shop.

 

Right now, they are shipping within the US.

 

Very very tempted!
