Hmm, that's a good question! I remember having a DVD player that could do this, but never a TV.

Here’s one modern example: https://twitter.com/ppiixx/status/1078424236354605057 … I can definitely see how this would be really hard to implement in a way that feels useful and not gimmicky.

a bit like pan&scan; unless theres metadata embedded in the TV signal, to specify a center of interest, 70% of the time you'd zoom on a brickwall or out of focus backdrop. many Videogames feature a zoom button, but it still requires an analog joystick (and dexterity!) to master
-
Pan & scan is a great analogy. You can imagine some combination of AI/ML (the same way Twitter/Facebook try to crop images, for example) and Apple TV remote with fast analog positioning to get us there. But that assumes zooming in is generally useful?

Remember that 79% of all the TVs in all the airports, bars, and parents' houses in the world are probably set to the wrong aspect ratio
-
This bothers me! TVs are computers now. They should be able to actually detect wrong aspect ratio, I think.

The quality goes in before the name goes on.

Longest slogan ever, probably.
