        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.

        Longest slogan ever, probably.
