This is probably the closest group I can find for this question I want
to ask. HDTV is going digital. And once in a while the 16:9 aspect ratio
is mentioned to compared with the 4:3 ratio to hint the advantage of
the 16:9 mature. What really is the advantage of the 16:9 aspect ratio in
HDTV? I know what this ratio is, but I don't see the big deal behind it.
Can someone help on this one? Thanks.
