Assuming said boss is a 'man' is a somewhat sexist remark don't you think?
Yes I suppose it is but it's the world I've always lived in so is the norm for me, bit like some people and distorted TV pictures.

Aspect Ratio Problems

On a more serious note my previous flat wide screen CRT telly (Panasonic) had an aspect ratio setting that stretched 4:3 pictures more at the edges than in the middle. This was when most broadcasts were in 4:3 or 14:9 at best. This looked very strange with a profile head shot as the back of the head would grow if the head moved to the edge of the screen, I couldn't get used to that.

The original HD transmissions were so described because they used 1440 x 1080 pixels. The pixel aspect ratio was not square but rectangular. On a Full HD screen you had to rescale horizontally only to create 1920 square pixels.

I always use Anamorphic setting on our 1000s (as do most other people I know with this box). Makes watching TV a much more pleasurable interaction. What a great pity our 2000T hasn't got the same option.
