Well, every rectangle has its own ratio of width to height, generally called an “aspect ratio”. Most movies just weren’t made to fit them. The fact is, TVs aren’t set up wrong at all. Someday I’ll have to find out about this stuff. Sure, the sides of the movie are cut off but at least the bars are gone and, hey, bonus – the movie actually looks bigger. I can zoom out the image to get rid of the black bars. At least that’s what my mother-in-law always says. Cycle through the remote buttons – the TV must be set up wrong. The TV is showing these black bars above and below the image. We load up any of the mega hits like Titanic, Star Wars, Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings on our big screen TV and settle in to be transported to another world – another time and place. Black Bars? Why Don’t Movies Fit on my 16:9 TV or Screen?
