How does a TV compensate the aspect ratio?
I have a basic question about aspect ratio.
Let’s say I create (on a pc) a video with an aspect ratio of 1.0667, for broadcast on a PAL TV. This means the pixels will be bigger horizontally than vertically.
When the video is displayed on a PAL TV, what happens? Do PAL TV have pixels that are bigger vertically than horizontally, so that it compensate back the stretching of the original video?
Thanks for any explanation,

You are right on…neither PAL not NTSC TVs display square pixels…only PC monitors do.
