Page 1 of Region 1 Bending!!

Hi, the picture on my R1 anamorphic discs seem to bend at the top right of the screen. Obviously any R1 letterbox discs are OK but having watched The Fisher King and Blues Brothers, they both have the same problem. I`m off to Canada soon in the hope of stocking up whilst there so this is a real bummer. Anyone know why? Thanks

Could be that the geometry on your TV is a little skewed on that side and will need to be modified to get a balance. It`s easy enough on some sets through the setup/maintenance menu (though make a note of any settings you change).

The discs you buy are not generally at fault unless there was an authoring problem and it escaped into retail.

Lastly, filmmaking is not a perfect process. All films shot on film are made with spherical lenses which actually `warps` slightly at the outermost edges. This is sometimes noticeable when you go to the flicks and watch a massive screen.

Go and stock up!
