No no, there are two kinds of HDTV. One is standard TV shape, and the other is a widescreen shape. What does the widescreen shape do for us?

In case you haven't noticed, movies have been filmed in widescreen format for the past 65 years or so. A lot of tv shows are also being filmed in widescreen, and many recent games have been supporting the widescreen format. 16:9 tvs give you a larger picture with anamorphic widescreen DVDs, certain tv shows, and games that support 16:9 tvs. And you don't have to deal with "those dang black bars".
