I was wondering, we buy full screen, is there much difference on the TV between WS and FS?

Full screen DVD's a lot of time have the imaged cropped from the widescreen theatrical release if you watch them on a 4x3 (square TV). You lose out on a lot of scenery in each shot. The overall composition of the frame is ruined when they crop. If you watch FS DVD's on a widescreen TV one of three things will happen, 1) it will be a square image with black bars on the side or 2) you stretch the image to fit the widescreen which distorts and looks bad or 3) you blow up the image so it fits without distortion, but then you further crop the top and bottom, and loose even more picture.

Widescreen DVD's will look great on a widescreen monitor, and if you play them on a 4x3 square monitor, your DVD player will letterbox them (black bars and top and bottom) so that you still see the whole image.

Bottom line. Yes Widescreen is a big difference IMHO.

HUGE difference - all LCD/Plasma/OLED/etc tvs produced are now widescreen - only the old square tvs are fullscreen.

buy widescreen even if you have an old square tv, you will thank yourself when you get a newer television in the future!

too bad these arent the blu-ray

There are many explanations on the web. Put very simply, widescreen (for the most part) is the movie the way the director intended it to be seen. "Full Screen" is the same movie formatted for old-school, square-ish TV screens. If you don't mind having a good percentage of the image chopped off, by all means, keep buying full screen (aka "fool screen" or "pan and scan") versions. If you enjoy movies, best bet is to buy a widescreen TV and DVD's.

thank you for the input, not trying to seem stupid but yes, we do still have old style TV 25", so wanted to know if there was a big difference which seems Yes is the answer. LOL Oh, we are looking for LCD and hoping to get one this BF or soon so don't want to buy something that doesn't work well on newer sets. Alot of the DVD's we have are both versions since many of the DVD makers have included that option with their movies.
