The Golden Mean is 1.618, right? "Widescreen" is usually interpreted to mean 16:9, which divides down to 1.78, and "Television ratio" is 4:3, which divides out to 1.3...so a widescreen is closer to the Golden Rectangle. Bonus answer: Laptop computers with 17" displays (usually 1440x900 or 1920x1200 resolution) have nearly exactly the same aspect ratio as the Golden Rectangle -- 1440 divided by 900 is 1.6... which is VERY close, and you can generate a perfect Golden Spiral using the 1440x900 dimensions!
