A pair of red velvet curtains that suction cup to the front of a widescreen television.
For use on those occasions when you are viewing a normal 4:3 aspect ratio image on a 16:9 widescreen. Lets you ignore all that black frame and unused screen space you paid thousands for. Simply remove when you
return to viewing a wide aspect picture.
Custom embroidered monograms available at extra cost.

Suction cups?! That hardly invokes the theater experience - the curtains should come with a mahogany casement or something |

I want to be able to move them via the remote control (easy technology). I could use them to tease my cats too - to divert their attention from my wife's jigsaw PUZZLE. I want them I want them. |

Why not digital curtains? open close curtains added to
the remote. |

Does it come with the coughing, the ringing mobile phones, the two people behind you discussing the plot.. |

How did we get so far with so few votes? |
|

You're clearly not familiar with the English political
system. |
|
| |
Under the first-past-the-post system, a Government can be elected
into power with a working parliamentary majority having received no
more than 18% of the total votes cast. |

Rant/Question: Do some people actually prefer to
watch a 4:3 image stretched to 16:9 rather than
have black bars on the sides? It seems like
whenever someone with an HDTV has a non-HD
video being played, inevitably it is stretched to
fit. Even at the the 1B+ market cap company
where I work, for the company meeting they have
a 4:3 camera at headquarters recording the CEO
talking and display it stretched to a 16:9 screen at
the remote site where I work. |

Am I just strange for caring about that, or are our
IT guys just lazy or incompetent? |
|
| |
Surely most TVs have an option to change the picture
format (eg, stretched; cropped top and bottom;
black bars etc)? |
