At one point TV wasnt widescreen. Maybe at some point in the future TV will be ultrawide too ?

Product too early for the times or just a glimpse of the future ?
The reason cinema moved to widescreen format in the first place was to distinguish itself from regular 4:3 TV, then when TV changed to 16:9, cinema changed again to 2:1 or whatever it is now. If television did switch to ultra-wide format, cinema aspect ratio would get even wider

I can't really see much point in this, even if you only watch films, most films more than 3 or 4 years old would have black bars at the side anyway.
