I notice that DTV employs 16:9 aspect ratio while monitor 16:10. Can
someone advise me why they have different standard and it seems to
cause DTV playback on monitor with distortion, isn't it?
Cheapness probably. Flat screens were first developed for computers and
later adapted for TV, the prevailing attitude of the day being "near
enough is good enough".
When colour TV started the CRTs were 5:4. Not a computer in sight. ;-)
