    Okay this is a poll of what Aspect Ratio we prefer. Widescreen which is 16:9/16:10 and Full screen which is 4:3. There are advantages and disadvantages to each.
    So what do you prefer?
     
    There aren't any advantages to 4:3/5:4 resolutions. Our eyes are positioned in a wide-screen form factor; so we're more adept to see wide-screen :D
     
    Widescreen- we've gotten used to it in my house, so anything else looks totally screwy. XD
     
    Why the hell would anyone like 4:3 anymore? Get with the times, Barney.
     
    Yeah I am all widescreen now in my room with my computer monitor, Macbook Pro Monitor and my TV so when I go to another room I gotta readjust alot due to there is only one widescreen display outside of my room.
     
    I prefer 16:9 screens best. My own computer has a 16:9 widescreen ratio, so I got used to it eventually.
     
    DDDD:
    I like full-screen.
    But I'm currently in a debate with myself because I like how widescreen is starting to look too, so I don't know what to set on my iPod for the videos.

    But I voted 4:3. :B
     
    I much prefer 16:10 over anything else. 4:3 is only good when watching older television shows that aren't available in widescreen format. (and even then, that simply to get rid of those vertical black bars.)

    If it really came down to it, I would seriously love to have an external screen on my desk that's the 2.21:1 aspect (scope in cinema terms).

    Have you seen the 21:9 LCD TV?     It's amazing.
     
    I used to vastly prefer 4:3 but that was back when I had an older TV. (Widescreen seemed so damn annoying because of the bars that it adds)

    Nowadays I don't have a preference. Both are fine with me, so long as the proper hardware is used to display it.

    For example, when I watch videos on my computer, I will prefer 4:3 versions over 16:9 unless on the laptop, when I prefer 16:9 (my laptop is bork atm ;o;)

    Anyways, if all I can get is 16:9 then I will just watch the video in windowed mode (unless it exceeds my screen resolution, then I will view it fullscreen and use MPC to apply corrections to the video frame as needed)

    I have a 16:9 TV I can use, so long as the file isn't in a Matroska (MKV) container, I can watch it on my TV via the Wii (Yaaaaaay Wii homebrew and MPCE n.n)
     
    16:9 or almost any widescreen format. 4:3 is no longer any good except for watching old shows that were aired in 4:3. I hate it when they air shows nowadays in 4:3 first and then 16:9 later. The 4:3 always cuts stuff off. ;;
