16 x 9 (i.e., 1.78 x 1) was derived as the square of 1.33 (4 x 3) and was arrived at by video people who did not consult Hollywood, which, as you know, uses primarily two formats, Panavision 2.35 x 1 and Academy Flat 1.85 x 1. The cinematographers did bitch about 16 x 9 but it was too little and too late. So now, when watching films on a wide screen display device NOTHING fits, as you point out: 4 x 3 has side bars, 1.85 is lopped off, and 2.35 has black bars.
