here we go again.

do not adjust your set, only some movies are 16:9, for the rest you will get black bars at top and bottom.

but you get pillar boxes when watching other than 21:9 movies.

No.. instead of top & bottom black box, you'll get right and left black box.. but
this definitely solve TS problem.. the top & bottom pillar box issues..

*sigh*

actually when someone says pillar box, they mean the left and right black bars (pillars are vertical)

I think "pillar box" is the widely accepted terms in the TV world for black bars to the left and right of the picture on a widescreen TV

the top and bottom bars are just "top and bottom bars"
