Widescreen TV - giving you a more natural view on the world.

Are widescreen TVs closer to 625 or 415 lines?

I have a 625 line "old fashioned" tv, and when watching stuff in W/S
(which I prefer for movies), there must be a whole lot of lines which
are "black" - but I have never seen figures as to what the number of
lines on a W/S TV actually is.

So... how many lines on a W/S TV?

Thanks

No, widescreen TVs are the same 625 line standard as old fashioned 4:3
sets.
