Black bars on blu-ray playback

Is there a way to get rid of them? Rather annoying to watch a movie when they are on display.

4k Blu-ray playback with black bars

Hi

This perfectly normal for many films when being watched on a television. Most televisions have approximately a 16:9 aspect ratio where many films are mastered in a 21:9 rato, this will mean that when being view on a television you will end up with black
bars at the top and bottom of the image being displayed.

 

No movie is displaying in 21:9 ratio but your t.v is 16:9 so its going to show black bars or if movie you watching is in 4:3 ratio its going to show black bars to cuz your t.v is 16:9

 

If you have a zoom button on your TV remote use that to remove the bars, but you will lose some of the picture, but if you really hate the bars it may be an option for you.

 

That means the film is 4x3 AR (full screen) which is how it's intended to be seen like, however, if you don't care about authenticity then just press that zoom button from your HDTV's remote.

 

Or you could by a new TV, lol

 

Gotta love the film industry for making movies of a wider ratio than 95% of the TV's being sold right now... :-/

Well pretty much all flatscreen televisions of this moment have the same 16:9 ratio as all TV programs are being displayed in that screen size. The film industry doesn't care about this as they believe a 21:9 is preferable for cinematic viewing and are still
under the assumption that movie theatres is where the profit is made.

I just think it is ridiculous that when you buy a 65" inch LED television you would still be looking at black bars on the top and bottom of your screen while all television series fit your screen perfectly.

It is not consumer friendly and the consumer, that is who they are making these movies for right?

 

Some brands of big screen televisions lack the software needed to display proper perspective. I once had a 60'' Hitachi television that said 720p on the box but it was really 480p stretched up.
