*Ruins your immersion*

Just why do movies do this?

I fucking hate how every new movie has this shitty meme resolution. Literally the only movies I can still watch on my tv are movies that are more than 10 years old.

Those black bars just ruin it so fucking much.

Just why

I hope you guys are trolling. Makes no difference to me because I only watch flicks in the dark so the black bars are unnoticeable.

I don't see the problem. Get a projector.

how about normal people using tv's?

What's the best film resolution? What's the best television resolution?

Get ultrawide monitor or projector. Free market already solved this problem.

2.35:1 is the only true cinematic ratio.

When you watch it in the dark it makes no difference desu

>1.33:1

Anything not in 4:3 is unwatchable trash

You want to ask what the best aspect ratio is. For TV that's 16:9 and for movies 2.39:1.

>torrent.1080p.tor
>is actually 1920x789p

>torrent.FULLHD.1080p.tor
>is actually 1920x850p

>2.39:1

But, that's shitty black-bars letterbox when you view it on your home screens. If you get a tv/monitor with 2560x1080p resolution then most movies will have black bars on the ends. Maybe in another 20 years it would be more worth it once prices come down for home screens at that aspect ratio.

Personally, I'd rather have double height to 2560x2160p 2:1 so long as the pixels are there. None of that shit 1280x1080p.

>companies advertise 4K TVs
>it's actually 3.8k

Because movies are meant to be seen projected in a cinema, not in your living room on your Walmart Samsung SMART TV.

It is 2017, soon to be 2018, gramps. No one goes to the theater anymore. No one even owns a television anymore. Everyone uses their smartphones now.

Yes I know user, people are getting more degenerate with every passing day. Capeshit and television shows on their laptops, what a bright future is ahead of us.

Kids still get storytime though, right?

>No one goes to the theater anymore
Tell that to capeshitters

Why is 16:9 supposed to be the best for TV shows?
Are you basing it on science or just on the size of most TVs?

>2018-1
>still watching rectangular movies

Capeshitters are not people though.

Did you know that the lens for the camera is circular and that its image when cast upon a wall, film, or sensor is also circular? There's quite a bit that is lost when people use a square or rectangle to frame that circle of light. Imagine if all photos, tv shows, and films were circular instead of square/rectangle.

I best instead of ___x___ dimensitons like 1920x1080p, companies would state the radius of the circle. "Full HD 720c"

>Did you know that the lens for the camera is circular and that its image when cast upon a wall, film, or sensor is also circular?
Yes, of course.
I'm disappointed there are barely any cameras that capture the full image taken. Including the distorted edges.
>companies would state the radius of the circle
You mean the diameter?
By the way, shame that they don't make cross-shaped sensors for mobile phones. The vertical video issue would be gone.

>You mean the diameter?

Absolutely not, they would use radius because it is more confusing to normie people and they can use that to feel smarter about themselves. Like knowing the difference between the i and p at the end of 1080i and 1080p.

>cross
People could just hold their phone correctly. Though, that is asking a lot.

They would use the diameter because it's a larger number, so it's better for marketing purposes.

just stretch it :^)

That comes later. I guess you could have,

r: radius
d: diameter
c: circumference

540r, 1080d, & 3392c would all be the same resolution. Seems like the perfect way to shit up everything when looking for a torrent.

TVs would have processing power specifically to try to make the edges less distorted/blurry and gearfags would fap over the various algorithms and programs used to do that.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the distortion consistent?

Get a new TV grandpa

>the absolute state of pleb/tv/

I only watch movies on 2.55 AR

>tfw it switches to 16/9 for the first time

I tell you what, i prefere 1280x720 @60hz to 1920x1080, its smoother and richer in details.

>father insists on using ZOOM setting so the screen is filled
>tell him he's cutting off a lot of the picture.
>he doesn't care there are no black bars.

oh yeah tron is impessive in wide screen

No, the further you get to the edge of the lens the more distortion there is. /p/ faps over various test charts like this one looking for corner distortions and shit.

Nostalgia post from 1999.

Is this what images like these are for?
What about this one?

better than it being stretched

Logan was in cinemas for not even 3 months, this shit is made straight to bd, everybody knows it.

Yeah, they test various things for the camera from color to resolution.

ITT: People without any idea why and how films are shot.

>>torrent.FULLHD.1080p.tor
>>is actually 1920x850p

this sucks

Why is it so hard to admit that it's annoying that it doesn't fit your tv?

>Durrrrr its supposed to be like that!

Yeah then the fucking tv's are the wrong size.

> board is called Sup Forums
> doesn't know shit about TVs
poetry

then why doesnt it fit?

>movie switches between 2 different aspect ratios

Because it's only in the versions made for Chinese audiences...

I used to watch movies on my PSP.

>movie switches between 50 different aspect ratios

So the reason these movies are shit size is because the bluerays get pirated in china?

China buys the shit on official VCD.

The Dark Knight Rises was weird.

I need a breakdown

so hbecause china has all the pirates we are stuck at shitty chink resolutions?

>movies
Even Netflix are doing it now

>post screenshot where I've changed the aspect ratio
>some autist loses his shit

Literally deleted Dunkirk and vowed never to watch it because it does this.

>not having an ultrawide display and enjoying the true home kino experience without letterboxing

How do normal 16:9 movies look on that?
Or 4:3?

>tfw use VLC to crop every movie to 16:9

>tfw 5120 x 2880 display

I wouldn't mind as much if the black bars weren't hardcoded.
t. ultrawide monitor user (21:9)

That's when you use one of two other TVs

>"We'll just crop the y axis so they think films are getting wider"

2.35:1 is aesthetically nicer.
1.66:1 is the most kino ratio of all.

Exactly. The lenses are still round.

There are black bars on the sides obviously but you really don't notice them. Plus with a large ultrawide monitor you can have your 4:3/16:9 video playing on one side of the monitor and use the remaining space for another window. I do that all the time while watching star trek.

>if the black bars weren't hardcoded
I had not idea this was a thing

But why aren't there black bars in the theater?

This literally never occurred to me before.
