More 21:9 TVs are coming out, which means standards are soon to follow.
Alright, so you've got yourself a fancy new 21:9 display and you're enjoying it like crazy for watching your Blu-rays on, but not every disc is set up to handle it properly and God help you if you want to watch TV in full screen. Here's a hint: don't stretch it.
The folks at the CEA are working on a standard for these new sets which will help provide content makers with the tools to cater specifically to the new aspect ratio. You'll hopefully start getting some 21:9 TV or at least On Demand movies that conform to the 21:9 aspect ratio.
"As video displays with the 21:9 aspect ratio are now appearing in the marketplace, adding this feature to the standard can more efficiently deliver such video to DTV receivers with native 21:9 displays," says the CEA.
