what are your thoughts on watching full screen tv or dvd in widescreen?
do you switch to 4:3 or leave it?

I leave it .... although I do get annoyed.
I always hop between HD and normal TV ... I think if I were to flip the settings back and forth, I'd go noots.

Tube TV FTW. One flat screen, the rest the old skool way.

I don't use 4:3 at all on my widescreen.
top and bottom bars to get 16:9 on a 4:3 screen > side bars to get 4:3 on a 16:9 screen
It's just a bit of a strech to get a 4:3 on my widescreen, you almost don't notice it and get used to it within 1 min of watching it.

standard tv looks like crap on an hdtv.
4:3 view for the compromise.
