Is GT3 16:9 480i?

Isn't the only way to make a 480i image to 16:9 to have black bars on top and bottom, Letterbox?

Who is running GT3 on a widescreen TV?

Does it letterbox the image and not use the entire screen of your WS TV?

Thanks
 
Ok if it can do 16x9 which does it look like on a widescreen TV?

480i is standard.. even in 4:3 mode, it's running 480i. GT4 is the same. 16:9 simply changes the pixel aspect ratio so that it fills the screen of a widescreen TV. If you don't have a widescreen TV, it's worse than useless.
 
I know 480i is standard. I'm trying to figure out what kind and size WS TV to get.

I'm trying to figure out if GT3/GT4 16:9 is letterbox, anamorphic, or fills the entire screen completely on a widescreen TV.

If GT3 looks like this(letterbox) on a wide screen TV I need to go with a bigger WS TV.

On my Dell 17" WS, the screen is completely filled in by the GT3 game image.

It's not letterboxed. And in 2 player mode, 16:9, the players are alongside each other split screen, not top & bottom.

You're welcome! And yes, widescreen is nice because each player ends up with 8:9 rather than 4:1.5. This makes everything significantly more enjoyable (:
