BTW, even if you watch a modern content being 4:3 (like a Simpson cartoon in the streams), is in reality 16:9 with side bars. Then you want to reproduce it with a 4:3 monitor or TV, and it have side AND horizontal bars  almost like a PIP in the center 
Unless you download a extension to force reproduction to cut permanent black areas, like I use with my notebooks connected to old TV's. |
Lol. How is it a disrespect for history? I have a respect for the history more than most people!
The unit does not include a format rescaler. For the price you would not necessarily expect it to. Eg you do not have the facility to letter box or center cut on a 4:3 display using the inexpensive box. There are other ways to better handle this.
The ones who disrespect history are the ones who format 4x3 content as 16x9 with no side bars!
