Blame the necessity to Go Wide to the Movie Industry
Although the widescreen format wasn’t entirely based on an impulse, the need to release movies in wide picture ratios is the quick solution to hiding the physical failings created on the film negatives from editing processes. Thanks again to the rise of television channels that offer films as their staple programs and those picture playing gadgets that have developed from the standard video tape players to the highly complicated Blu-Ray players, owning a wide screen television is almost a must.
Not a movie aficionado yourself and sticking with the other non-movie-centric television channels has become your life’s main principles? You will not be saved from owning a flat wide screen television neither, as a handful of networks has switched to wider viewing formats too. Does the picture of Conan O’Brien demonstrating how wide his network has gone ring a bell?
Going flat on the other hand is an only classy factor for me. Let’s all be honest and face it, the look of a flat wide screen is surely a much lovelier sight than an old and bulky television.
