John, no humble pie needed.
I didn't read this post until after I had sent the one about 14:9 being 
an EBU program format.
I can only find 16:9 flat panel sets on UK sites that claim 14:9 as a 
'native' format, what ever that is meant to convey.
I was originally thinking there actually were some 14:9 CRT sets sold in 
Europe.
Can anyone provide any evidence?
Thanks.
