As the television world makes the transition from the traditional 4:3 format to 16:9 wide-screen, many people ask "Why? What's Wrong with 4:3? Should I convert to widescreen?".
These are valid questions for both programme makers at one end and viewers at the other end.
Producers and broadcasters need to decide whether to make the difficult and expensive transition to widescreen.
Viewers need to decide whether to upgrade their 4:3 TV set to widescreen.
We will attempt to answer this question from both points of view. However we should point out that in the long run there is one simple fact which overrides all other arguments: Widescreen is the new standard and everyone will eventually be using it whether they like it or not. Whilst some people will hold on to 4:3 as long as they can, the future of widescreen is inevitable. The real question is not "Should I go widescreen?" but "Should I go widescreen now, or should I wait?".
