Watching Lawrence of Arabia on a 21" Sony Trinitron was my first experience with letterbox. That movie is a great example of why in my opinion watching a movie on any sort of TV is nothing but a giant compromise... movies are simply not made to be watched on a tiny screen across the room. You miss details left right and centre, and the sound is totally inadequate too.
I have A 120" wall mounted 16x9 screen with a 3 CRT Runco HDTV projector mounted on the ceiling, and the amount of detail I notice in movies has increased exponentially over watching movies on TV sets. It has been a bit of a bitch to keep it alive, the convergence ICs have failed twice, but since installing an additional fan they seem to be hanging in there.
