Why do they call the aspect ratio of the Philips Cinema TV 21 to 9 if it's not in simplest form?
Aspect ratio is uniformly defined as horizontal resolution by vertical resolution. In order to maintain consistency, 21 x 9 was not reduced to 7 x 3, so that it could be intellectually (and easily) compared to 16 x 9, which is in simplest form.

How do wide screen TV's deal with non-wide screen broadcasts?
Widescreen television formats have made an appearance in recent years. In Europe, widescreen (16 : 9 format) has been used widely for a number of years using standard definition broadcasting while in North America, widescreen has only been used with high definition broadcasting. In both cases, the change of shape has to be handled. All widescreen televisions will have their own way to deal with a 4 : 3 ratio image. The simplest method is to center the image on the screen and leave side curtains (black or gray areas) to fill the remainder of the screen. Most will allow the image to be stretched to fill the screen with the result that all images are mis-shapen. The last common method is to enlarge the whole of the image so that the width of the image fills the screen and the top and bottom of the image are lost. Some televisions allow the image to be panned to bias the zoomed image towards the top or bottom depending on the content. Broadcasters often have to cope with the same issues. Although the channel might be broadcast in widescreen, some of the content may still be 4 : 3. The image will be handled in the same ways as a domestic television but it is important to note that if side curtains are added to the image, the output is still in the wide screen format and the image cannot then be resized on the domestic television. In standard definition widescreen, a "wide screen signal" is used (WSS) within the television signal to tell the receiver what format the image is in. It is this WSS signal that is detected to establish what shape of image the television needs to use. WSS is never used in high definition as all HD images are widescreen.

Is the ratio of a widescreen closer to a golden rectangle or a normal TV?
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!

Comment from the person who asked - I'm researching computer hardware for a new computer I'm constructing, and in my past experience, two monitors has always been a great plus.

What is the aspect ratio of TV receiver?
Strictly speaking, a TV receiver is the device that decodes a transmitted signal but it's safe to assume that the question refers to a television or monitor. Conventional televisions have an aspect ratio of 4 : 3, that is the width is 4 units wide compared to the height which is 3 units wide. Widescreen televisions have an aspect ratio of 16 : 9. 16 : 9 is the only aspect ratio for HD television. In North America, SD television is 4 : 3 only. In Europe however, 16 : 9 became the norm for standard definition television some years ago. Television broadcasts have now moved exclusively to a widescreen format even if they are in SD.
