Anamorphic dvd's?


Please explain anamorphic dvd's? I just purchased a 16:9 hd upgradeable tv. Are anamorphic's 235:1 or 185:1? Do I still get the black bars top and bottom?

I believe this 2.35:1 and 1.85:1` is representative to the amount of compression on the DVD.The less compression (1.85) allows 16:9 widescreens display the full screen. On 2.35:1 theres more compression, thereby requiring a smaller display to have the appearance of full resolution.
