Why is everyone talking about the True Widescreen format of 2.35:1?

Are there that many movies in this format?

Why do I have black bars in the first place?

How does it work?

What do I need to do?

Can I retrofit my current 16:9 projection system?

What are the UH480 specifications?
 

Our UH480 Guide (PDF document) not only provides the specifications of our UH480 Lens System, it also illustrates why 2.35:1 imaging is today's fastest growing trend in high end home cinema and how you use your projector with your new lens system to achieve this ultimate experience and level of performance.
(NOTE: The guide is currently being revised for the UH480 system but at this time refers to the UH380, which is substantially equivalent in use and application).
