Dragon Ball Z "Seasons" On Blu-ray: News & Discussion

[TheAldella]

Hm....If I had to choose, I'd say I prefer 16:9, actually. Something about the way it presents itself, particularly with anime, makes me feel a lot closer to the action, and there's still so much breathing room.

[TheAldella]

With Dragon Ball, it's clearly 4:3. It was made in it and should be the only aspect it's seen in. Cropping is an absurd practice and it blows my mind that members here approve of that nonsense for the sake of their beloved television.

Something that DOES get annoying, though, is after watching straining amounts of old anime, my TV has the lines from the bars BURNED INTO IT for like 3 days.

Thats a issue with your tv itself then. I have watched Kai in 4:3 on my 42 inch Westinghouse for 5 hours straight and nothing got burned into the screen.

I'm assuming he has a plasma tv they are much more prone to burn in vs an LCD tv.

You can check out this thread they suggest using grey bars instead of black bars http://www.avsforum.com/t/1432070/best- ... -plasma-tv.

Do LED TVs get burn in as well?

[ABED]

Not that I know of, the TV doesn't even get hot.

Nowhere near as easily as plasma tv's. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/Suppo ... m_seq=1429

Burn in isn't about heat it's when a static image that is displayed on a screen remains on screen kind of like a shadow. Here is an example on Samsung's site.

You guys are right, but man i wish dbz was originally filmed in 16:9

Damn I hope that doesn't happen to my TV. No wonder people hate black bars, they don't want it to fuck up they're TVs.

It would save a lot on here a lot of time, that's for sure!

[TheGmGoken]

goin off topic a lil but which aspect ration do you like better 16:9 or 4:3?

Doesn't matter as long as its in its original form. Though I make exception for Amvs, trailers, or previews if 4:3 turn 16:3. As long as for the preview final product is the original ratio.

Off topic: Have anyone changed their tv settings or console to 4:3 when playing a Db Game? I have honestly its weird

Yeah I dont have that problem with my tv. Had it for 2-3 years and black bars have no effect on it.

I know what it is, I just don't know exactly how it happens.

[BlazingFiddlesticks]

LCD's don't have burn in worth mention- the figure I hear is that you'd need to watch 90% 4:3 content over the collective life of your TV to get anything remotely visible. Granted, if you're watching 4:3 movies and respecting the aspect ratio of your older game consoles (only consistently 16:9 capable machine I have is a Wii- and yes I know its anamorphic 640x480), that might actually be an issue.

Lol it's nothing to worry about having black bars on the left and right side of the image is no different than Blu ray movies that have black bars on the top and bottom.

Do you have a LED TV?

[Ajay]

Unless you have an older plasma, burn in is not something you should worry about. They've been all but phased out now and any LCD/LED you buy now will not suffer from these issues.

[ss4songoku]

LCDs FTW. I used to own a plasma and the burn in drove me nuts. It would go away at least but I hated having to worry about it. As for 16:9 vs 4:3 dbz I think the cropping makes the action appear to close and cramped.
