4:3 OLED TVs: A Win For All

Why do your eyes focus on the blank screen area instead of the content?

Some people insist that their entire screen be filled lest they feel cheated or distracted by the unused portion, thus the OP's desire for a separate 4:3 OLED TV for 4:3 content and a separate 16:9 OLED TV for all other content. With an OLED's true blacks, the vertical black bars that frame 4:3 content should offer no distraction whatsoever.
