I don't like watching films as a letterbox it is my personal preference. I actually play the films on my 16:9 TV by HDMI cable but the film still comes up in letterbox format on my 16:9 TV. Why is that?

[doublepost=1470634080][/doublepost]Then original question was " why does it show the black bars all of a sudden, they could watch movies befor full but suddenly IT NO LONGER fits...meaning it used to but does not anymore it won't allow them.... So what's the difference now? Why could you watch full before and now the black bars...which by the way cuts off quite a bit of the original picture on my Netflix, Iv seen These movies in full and there wasn't any cut offs....no way the tops of ther heads and bottoms of their faces are purposely cut off So why! It's so enoying and distractingIt amazes me that there are still individuals that don't understand why the black bars are there. It's not for fun. Its because the movie was shot and created with an aspect ratio that isn't always the same the screen it is being played on.
If you want to get the entire picture onto that screen, it results in black bars. The alternative is to zoom in (losing the sides of your movie completely) or stretch the picture top and bottom which just distorts it what you are looking at.
Am I crazy for thinking people are crazy for wanting to do this?
Just to be clear, this isn't an attack on the OP, its just my mind being boggled.

i'm glad that mac still offering screens with 16:10 ratio.
- I'm sorry, but that made no sense at all.[doublepost=1470634080][/doublepost]Then original question was " why does it show the black bars all of a sudden, they could watch movies befor full but suddenly IT NO LONGER fits...meaning it used to but does not anymore it won't allow them....

Because you are watching things filmed in widescreen for cinema.
