Widescreen vs. Fullscreen

i know that the widescreen is the letterbox format, but is there any other differences? ie; better color or anything?

the real question is

fullscreen vs widescreen vs letterbox

i remember watching some dvds that have some screens wider than others (more screen cut off) :thinking:

No color difference or anything, but a lot gets cut off in full screen and you miss some important stuff sometimes. In full screen you don't see the movie as the director intended it and the quality just goes to crap.

Wide screen.. you basically see it how it was in the theatres... nothing is missing...
full screen... the sides are, basically.. cut off...
