Many of you are probably too young to remember, but for a while in the 1980s and '90s, a battle raged between the backers of fullscreen and widescreen VHS tapes. Fullscreen, at the time, meant 4:3, the ratio most TVs were sold in. Supporters wanted their video to fill up the whole screen, no matter that most movies were shot in 16:9 (or wider), inevitably losing some of their content in the home transition. Widescreen champions were okay with black bars and a smaller picture so long as it meant getting the entire image.
