What will DVDs and 4:3 broadcasts look like on a widescreen TV?
There are multiple settings for adjusting the appearance of 4:3 broadcasts on many widescreen TVs. 4:3 can be viewed with the black bars on the sides, preserving the way it was originally intended to be viewed. All flat panel monitors have a stretch mode that let you fill the entire TV screen with the image. Usually these modes stretch the outer portion of the picture while leaving the center untouched. Most people dont like the effect.
