This really is a wise, affordable approach toward experiencing TV quality as never seen before and never heard before.

Customer Review: Disappointed
I am disappointed by this TV. 32 days after I got it the remote did not communicate with the TV. I had to bring it to a shop for repair and wait more than a week to get it fixed. Also I do not like the remote provided with the TV. Andre
Customer Review: SHARP Sharp Flat Screen HDTV
After researching and viewing this TV we began shopping and found all stores out and having no idea when they would get new stock in. ADT Electronics offered a great price - paid the shipping and was on time. The TV is all that we had hoped it would be. This model LC32B24U has the sharpest picture we have ever seen on a TV. Mounts on the wall with no problem or sits on a surface. Once hooked up it is easy to navigate and user friendly. We give it 5 stars with gusto.

There is a new video format on the rise. A fair share of television owners these days will likely understand the difference between the 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios, but for those of you who don't, it's the height versus width difference between your LCD or plasma television and the old tube televisions you had 10 years ago that was almost shaped like a box. So now that we've got you thinking in those terms, allow me to introduce to you the concept of Cinemascope, the newest format to hit the screens in a big way.

You may have noticed that watching movies on DVD or Blu-ray sometimes results in black bars on the top and bottom of your screen. That's because the films you are watching have been shot in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio (for reference, 16:9 is reduced to 1.78:1). To make a long story short, watching a 2.35:1 movie on a 16:9 screen results in about 33% of picture area lost in the form of black bars. To remedy this, some manufacturers are creating screens in the wider format as well as optics that will combine with your projector to produce pictures that wide.

The Appeal of Cinemascope

Also referred to as anamorphic video, Cinemascope allows viewers to watch movies the way the director intended them to be seen at the box office. Not only does cutting off the top and bottom black bars equate to greater resolution, but often times, you'll notice watching a wider and longer screen produces a sort of dramatization in the picture that simply is not matched by 16:9 video.

So how do you put this technology in your home?

How It All Comes Together

Outside of the obvious need for a projector, there are two items that are required to produce the anamorphic picture: a super-wide screen and an anamorphic lens with its respective lens adapter kit. The lens adapter kit will attach to your projector and is motorized, so when you want to watch movies in Cinemascope, the motor will swing the lens into place, and when you are watching normal television, the lens will be off to the side and out of the way. There are a small number of different lens and lens adapter kits out there, so you will want to make sure you pick up one that will work with your specific model projector.

The future of Cinemascope will likely be every bit as bright or brighter than its past, which started all the way back in 1953 with the release of The Robe. Once you begin to look for it, you'll find that a very large portion of your favorite films are distributed in this format.
