My shot at humble pie.

It seems I was incorrect in my original premise to Bert after all. PalPlus broadcasts a letterboxed 16x9 image within a 4x3 video display, and PalPlus sets detect the signaling to fill a 16x9 screen with the letterboxed 4x3 video, with help from some "enhancement data" in the letterboxed area to increase vertical luminance resolution somewhat.

Thanks, Cliff, for pointing that out.

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.
