[Offtopic] Are there flat-panel TVs with "television" in the reach of nature? aspect ratio?

Question

TVs

Here, many are friends with technology, perhaps someone has the knowledge I need, although this is slightly out of the scope of the resource.
A flat-panel TV with a diagonal of 32 "and above is worn, but not a widescreen one, but an ordinary 4:3 (or 5:4, I don’t remember what tv aspect there is). Everything else doesn’t matter.
It’s not banned in Google, in all kinds of household appliances stores too , I searched long and hard - I didn’t find it. However, I met projection ones with the right aspect, but this is essentially a coffin even larger than a CRT TV.
This generally occurs, and if so, what keywords can be used to find a candidate for acquisition, and where can i do it?

Answer 1

From 4:3 everyone is already leaving - there is no point - making huge square TVs is not interesting - it remains to wait until the on-air TV switches to 16:9 ... Although, what am I talking about, does anyone else watch our channels?)

Answer 2

Answer 3

And, there is another idea - not to buy a TV, but a monitor. They seem to still have 4:3. True, you will probably need some kind of tuner to switch programs ...

Answer 4

The maximum that we managed to find is a 20 '' Samsung, everything that is larger with a diagonal already has 16: 9. this is due to the fact that they already have support for at least HD ready, and this is exactly what 16:9 is.

Answer 5

If you happen to find it, please let me know. I'm very interested in whether there are such in nature. Well, or at least a large non-widescreen monitor.

Answer 6

And it is not profitable for manufacturers to produce 4:3 matrices, since they have more pixels to make compared to 16:9 matrices of the same diagonal.
So you have to buy bigger TVs and leave black bars on the sides :(
True, there is still a 16:10 format ...

Answer 7

On duty, I work with TV channels (the very ones that still give out a 4: 3 picture). All control monitors, respectively, are also in 4:3 format. On-air equipment rooms and studios can have up to several dozen such monitors in one room. They are divided into two unequal groups:
1. Most of them are specialized control monitors for television. I saw diagonals from 8 inches to somewhere around 30. There may be more. Manufacturers - Sony and Panasonic (maybe there are others). The problem is that these displays are very special - they connect directly to cameras and remotes, support all sorts of tricky inputs like SDI and camcorders, while not having a TV tuner. They are very expensive, because they have a bunch of functions such as histogram output, built-in oscilloscopes, etc.
2. A smaller part - the usual such old CRT monitors from 20 to 60 inches in size. They are used when the signal parameters are not very important, and the picture must be large (for example, the news presenter must see the picture from the camera located far from him). Starting from Electrons well and up to any standard Samsungs.
The TV channels, having quite enough money and suppliers, did not find anything else. Draw your own conclusions.

Answer 8

Samsungs quite imperceptibly stretch the picture for me, without cropping the unnecessary. Go to the store, see how normal LCDs or LEDs show a picture of ordinary channels and you will understand that you don’t need to look for anything.

Answer 9

I recently bought my mother a PHILIPS 32PFL6605H. It fully automatically adjusts to the picture. When the picture is 4:3, it leaves black stripes on the sides. When the picture changes to 16:9, it automatically removes the black bars at the top and bottom and enlarges the picture to the maximum. Even if there is some kind of logo on the stripes, it still cuts off.

Answer 10

With luck, in a few years we will still switch to 16:9. In general, my father has 16:9 in the kitchen, you quickly get used to the stripes along the edges.

Answer 11

Sometimes in nature there are plasma panels with a ratio of 4:3, for example Saturn PDP 421 or Hisense PDP42M69P, although it is difficult to find them on sale.

Answer 12

You also need to understand that an ordinary television picture will not look so good on an LCD, image defects are more noticeable.
