I've a retro TV from 2002 which cost very little, and it still works like new
It's a 21 inch crt , 4:3 (not wide screen). It's worth about 10 euros, other people are throwing them out and getting 1080p LCDs and Plasmas
The quesion is, when I pick up RTE or BBC, is some of the picture on the left and right being truncated..........
Are broadcasts these days in widescreen (standard SD broadcasts)
If they are, I'm thinking I am not seeing 100% of what is broadcast...
Or is it a case that the broadcast is in 4:3 ratio, and widescreen TVs stretch it out, giving a distorted image on widescreen TV's
