Ah thank you, that clears it up. Our digital signage players have in the past been outputting composite and svideo signals to CRTS. Now that most clients are using VGA -> LCD / Plasma it seems it will treat it as square pixels. And as such, based on this, I should be creating content in square pixel aspect ratio.

Thanks guys

But that is where my question lies.. if content created for CRT TV (for example an advertisement) has gone through this process of designing in square pixel then squishing down, with full knowledge that the CRT TV will stretch it back, what happens if the TV isnt CRT but is LCD or Plasma or DLP. Do those TV sets share the same rectangular pixels as tvs or do all LCDS tvs now have square pixels.

Typically that is what I was doing, however the media player that will be displaying the content (in a digital signage environment) is connected to the LCD via VGA connection.

I was not sure if that would affect the resolution or content creation specs.
