There are 77 products listed with 4:3 aspect ratio screens, including seven 4:3
integrated HDTVs, with screen sizes from 15-inches to 60-inches in the latest
CEA list at

I find it hard to believe that a 4:3 set actually is HDTV, since the
only
HDTV table 3 formats are 16:9. What makes these sets qualify? Because
they
can handle MP@HL video? Then, why not display HDTV content natively?

I think you will find that virtually all 27-inch, 32-inch, and 36-inch
TV sets that are said to be HDTV have 4:3 screens. There is also a fair
number of larger HDTV sets with 4:3 screens. The Consumer Electronics
Association's definition of an HDTV set does NOT preclude a 4:3 screen.
I think you will also find quite a few plasma TVs in this country that
are 16:9 but only SDTV. In Europe and Japan, you will find huge numbers
of 16:9 SDTV sets.
TTFN,
Mark
