This "pan and scan", does it cut off the sides of widescreen images, so they fit on a 3:4 size screen?

Then I prefer widescreen, even though I have a 3:4 size tv. I got used to the black borders on the bottom and top of the screen.

Widescreen. As said, you lose too much picture. Sometimes they just stretch the picture, that's just as annoying.

Widescreen. There's so much that you lose in the picture with pan and scan. I'd like to punch the guy who invented pan and scan.

Is there any reason ever to watch pan and scan?

Sure, if you want a bigger image, but I agree that the loss of frame size is more than compensated by the fidelity to the original film version.

I went with widescreen, although it took we a while to get used to it, until recently I think I'd have gone with pan and scan... I only have a small TV.

Widescreen. Although I'm glad the picture is chopped because people who have wdiesceen tv's are always complaining they can see someone's arm or a boom mike or something when before they couldn't.

I'll vote for widescreen because if I don't I suspect I'll be flayed, hung, drawn and quartered. But to be honest I agree with Archie2K - watching widescreen formet on my teeny tiny 14" TV ain't gonna help my eyes much. Though, of course, when I had my 26" in New Zealand, widescreen was top. *sob* I miss my TV!

Apart from programmes that were originally made for television, are DVDs available in pan and scan? All my films are widescreen and I don't recall there being a choice.

Widescreen is a must. I've returned fullscreen DVDs that people have given me as gifts just to get the widescreen version. It captures the true feel of the movie.
