4:3 microled TV in 2021? - Blu-ray Forum

Is there finally a chance for us vintage movie and TV show fans to enjoy 1.33:1 content the way it was meant to be seen.

Really??? Does this mean that I can have a TV with OLED's kickass contrast ratio and black level range but where the screen panels can be physically configured for viewing my large collection of 1.33:1 aspect ratio content in full screen with no vertical black bars?

IF yes, you can bet that lots of cinephiles will dedicated a room for using a 4:3 microled TV, while they enjoy 1.85:1 and similar content on their 16:9 TV in another room. Will this finally happen in 2021?

But if yes will microleds be exclusively 8K TVs, which would be virtually useless and needlessly costly for DVD and 1080p BD collections like mine?

And what available sizes will there be? ~ 48”, 50”? Hopefully, not only in sizes larger than 55”. If yes, then unless the TV were placed practically on the floor the center of the screen would be well above axis of the eyes of most viewers in most room sizes.

And who would do the actual microled panel configuring for displaying the chosen aspect ratio? Does the user have to special order it or would it an in-home DIY set up?

How soon might a ~ 52” 4:3 configurable 1080p or 4K microled TV hit the market?

Around 2030, start saving your money and stay healthy.

I'm happy with my 16:9 OLED, 1080p plasma & projector today.

2024 but it will be an expensive technology. Definitely not for the average person. Each tile has an aspect ratio of 1.78.

Lol, how about instead you just build a faux front cover or remove the front of an old 4:3 cube tv and place it in front of your 16:9 and pretend you've aquired a full screen

oled, Qled, micro led whatever....it would be cheaper, present the exact same image devoid of the sides causing you to loose lots of the image and you can do this with any model.

The only benefit I see would be to maximize the size of 4:3 material in a horizontally confined space. Why anyone would want a 4:3 other than use as a computer monitor? 16:10 is my preferred monitor AR.
