I mean, those movie makers should be smart to make use of our LCD panel right? They should try to shoot it in a way that it will display full screen without black bars.
However, I think there must be a reason for them to shoot it that way. Any forummers here know why?
Nope, movie makers make movies in few standards before LCD panel was invented, so, it should be LCD panel maker that follows film standard, IMHO. I would say that the LCD panel makers continue the mistake of film makers, do you know that for LCD monitor most of it is at 16:10 ratio while LCD TV is mostly at 16:9 ratio and there are tonnes of film formats. However, I think there must be a reason for them to shoot it that way. Any forummers here know why?

So, I would say it is impractical for LCD panel makers to do that, as the source itself is not standardize, 'garbage in garbage out'.

Ooo.. That's a logical answer 
Eh! but somehow, BD movies are launch few months later after it has been shown in the cinema. Those movie studios should take the time to readjust it back to 16:9 to show some sort of effort.
Usually, the studios will follow "the way the director intended it to be watched", and I don't think it is possible to adjust the aspect ratio without modifying the look or feel of the movie.

Not everyone is using LCD/Plasma at home. Always remember there are projector users too which doesn't have a fixed aspect ratio screen.
AFAIK, all display have a fixed aspect ratio, even HD projectors, which usually comes in 16:9 aspect ratio.Added on June 28, 2008, 12:23 am
