More interesting things from a little research.
The HDTV formats are:
1280 x 720
1920 x 1080
but that doesn't mean that all flat panel TVs use only those.
There is a common monitor format called WXGA which is:
1366 x 768
which is within a fraction of a pixel of being 16:9
-- actually 16:8.9956
Some TVs also use this format (e.g. Sharp).
And then there are wide screen computer monitors that aren't quite wide
enough tor HTDV's 16:9.
Specifically, there is:
1280 x 768
which I suppose makes some sense.
And then there are a lot of other formats. This article lists some:

So, we are going to have to contend with a lot of odd ball formats.
This is mostly a software issue as long as the hardware can be
configured to handle them.
