My Mother has a 4:3, standard def TV. I have an HD monitor, of course. However, my Mother watches 100 times more TV than I do. That's something you need to consider...

>> Thanks for sharing your findings. Regardless of your findings many shows require 4x3 safe titles in HD shows. Direct TV letterboxes some network shows and others it center crops to SD boxes. Dennis posted that NBC news Center Cuts but the entertainment division letterboxes. So I've heard 5% cutoff is relatively standard and I've seen Panny consumer plasmas that have a crop and a full setting. Just another pain in the arse. If you thinks 80% safe title would look wrong you aren't watching much Network PrimeTime that has all titles 4x3 safe. ;-)
