I can't afford a widescreen TV right now, but all of my DVD's are widesrcreen and I don't mind the black bars on my 32". It's funny, because when Laserdiscs first started doing it I hated the letterbox format, but once I started getting used to it, I didn't even really notice the black bars and haven't gone back since. Every time I see a movie on tv that is pan and scan, I get disgusted. It looks like crap, you sometimes get the entire scen but it is panned back and forth. You lose like 40% of the film on 4x3 TV's.
