so whats so special about bluray then
"If new things are so great, where have they been the whole time?"
It's high definition....sheesh.
The bars are much thinner on a 16:9 than they would be on a standard 4:3 screen. Quit your bitching. Once you start watching the movie, your brain should eliminate them.

nah y should i suffer....i freakin pay so much money for all this stuff and i can't get a good freakin picture...ill b**ch all i want
"If new things are so great, where have they been the whole time?"
Cant get a good picture? There is nothing wrong with the picture. The aspect ratio of a movie theatre screen is wider than any TV. Instead of cutting off part of the sides, they use as much screen as possible.
What you paid for is HIGH DEFINITION. Not theatre aspect ratio. Besides, if your TV was that wide, any television channel displaying in wide screen aspect ratio would have black bars on the left and right.
You're bitching about the dumbest thing possible (in regards to video playback) and trying to blame Blue Ray or your TV. That's just stupid.

Not all movies are shot in an aspect ratio that natively conforms to widescreen TV's. No TV in the world will get you around this problem, unless it can actually adjust its size like what can be done in a theater with a projector.
The aspect ratio of I am Legend according to IMDB is 2.35 : 1
The aspect ratio of your TV is probably 16:9 or 1.78:1
There is nothing you can do about the black bars by changing your setup or by buying a different TV.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
this always happens with widescreen movies regardless of your TV(if you get wide screen DVD and watch it on SD TV same thing happens with even thicker black bars)
im not complaining about the television....when i watch tv its fine....the sports i watch and hd shows are amazing....im just not happy with the movie...granted its only 1 movie and i prob have to try other movies on it...but still it sux so far

The TV's guys just like to screw the world with too wide movies, in more years they will make wider ecreens and charge more fo th eguys to adjust to bigger movies it will be too much money for the average consumer to pay just to have bigger movie.
Most big budget films are 2.35:1 (PotC, I Am Legend, LotR, etc.), but comedies and other stuff are usually 16:9.
It really depends on the movie, but if they made TVs to fit 2.35:1 films then 16:9 films would have black bars on the sides. :|
Its just the cost of having a home video version. The aspect ratio a film maker uses in his film is as important as any other decision he makes, and it should be respected. If we lived in a world where we could all have film projectors in our house, it would be great, but unfortunately we can't, and until we do, the home video version will never be as good as the real thing.
