old "normal" is 4x3, widescreen is 16x9. To keep a 4x3 (non HD) program in proper perspective, you have to deal with the black bars on the sides. Some tv's have "h-fill" where it just stretches horizontally to fill the edges.. Some have "justified fill" that TRIES (but ultimately fails) to keep things in acceptable proportions while filling the whole screen. And then there's straight up zooms that just push in a set amount. Yeah it's a pain in the ass.

Some people get so used to the stretched look that they think it's normal or no different than the proper perspective.. weird.
