Wrong book.  At least from the viewpoint of a TV service tech.

Where in the "Good Book" do I find Philips? :) Maybe we should look it up by
chapter and verse...

I saw a snippet on Philips offering a 21:9 screen for the movie buffs.  What
to do with 16:9 content? 

In a similar note, I watched parts of "Batman: The Dark Knight" in our new
auditorium on a 16:9 Stewart screen, using a Christie7K projector and JBL
THX processor and speakers.  The source disk was a commercial Blu-Ray.  The
overall experience was close to that of a modern film theater and looked as
good as, if not better, than a standard projected film. 

What surprised me was that the film actually had letterboxing on some
scenes.  Other scenes, mainly action, filled the whole 16:9 area but dialog
and other scenes were letterboxed (black on top and bottom) with perhaps a
21:9 or so ratio. 

So how would a 21:9 deal with a Blu-Ray that is authored in this way?
