Doesn't seem like a lot until you hold a protractor up to your eyeball. And then you realize how much area falls outside that angle, surroundings you don't think about at the theater.
The AVP has to render that unwatchable area for you as well, and it ends up in screenshots.
Keep in mind that all that unwatchable area is pixels that aren't being used to improve the movie image.

Or maybe it's like the Philips Ambilight+Hue, that people swear adds immersion by letting content color the environment around it.
Ironically by adding a gue to a nomral screen, you're effectively 'adding' pixels to the display... unlike the pro which wastes pixels on the 'hue' because many of them are not in the ideal viewing angle.
