I've ranted in the past about the move for TVs. It doesn't make sense for people (like me) who are space-constrained. I need to replace a 32" 4:3 TV, and could only fit a 27" 16:9 in its place. The "upgrade" forced me to have significantly less screen space.
I've seen the same thing is digital picture frames, which makes no sense whatsoever. Every real camera in the universe takes pictures in the 4:3 neighborhood, or even square in the case of larger format cameras. With a 16:9 frame, you're never, ever, going to use the left and right edges.
- dazzla 16y agoI'm with you for the photo frames but losing the space on the TV has already happened. Most of the content your watching will be widescreen so you'll have the bars top and bottom effectively giving you that 27" 16:9 TV. Unless of course you are full screening everything and not seeing a lot of the content as the sides are being chopped off.
