| The first image shows a projected native 2.35:1 image, with black bars on the top and bottom when viewed in 16:9 wide screen mode. The projector is wasting precious pixels on those black bars that could be utilized to achieve a better quality image. |
| The second image shows a modified image that can be achieved by using a scaler found in your DVD player, projector, or an external scaler. This stretches the image to fill the full height of the panel, eliminating the black bars. However, you'll notice the image appears horizontally squeezed.* |
| The third image is with an Anamorphic Research Lens in place. The image has been stretched 33% horizontally to fill the entire 2.35:1 screen! The full resolution and brightness of the projector are now being used. Additionally, because the Anamorphic Research Lens is fixed to a 33% horizontal expansion, it can also be used if you have a 4:3 projector and want to display 16:9! |
| Now compare the first and third images again. With our anamorphic lens in place, you get a significantly larger picture with no image degradation. We know you'll be amazed at the difference an Anamorphic Research Lens makes! |
| *Check to see if your projector scales in "Letterbox" mode. You must be able to achieve this image in order for the Anamorphic Research Lens to work properly. Please consult your owner's manual or manufacturer's website for information on achieving this image with your projector / DVD player / scaler. You can also check our Support Page's Projector Compatibility list. |
