Hey Ken, it isn't a matter of consensus. It's simple math. TV aspect ratio is
4×3. If you divide 4/3 you get 1.3333. Now, whatever resolution you have, just
do the same and apply the above. For instance, 512/486=1.0535. Now divide
1.3333 by 1.0535 and you get 1.2655.
320×200 – 320/200 = 1.6 .:. 1.3333/1.6 = 0.83
512×486 – 512/486 = 1.0535 .:. 1.3333/1.0535 = 1.27
640×480 – 640/480 = 1.3333 .:. 1.3333/1.3333 = 1.00
752×486 – 752/486 = 1.5473 .:. 1.3333/1.5473 = 0.86
