Pillarboxes are too narrow for reasonable line lengths of legible text. Letterboxes, except during commercials, which are commonly double boxed, are uncommon on 16:9 HDTVs. "Decent" sized computer screens are uncommon any more in stores. Most are now just miniaturized 16:9 HDTVs, too short for letterboxing to contain captions. -- "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver."
