>>TV shows (older ones) are often 4:3 aspect ratio. Some video players offer the option to play them "full screen" regardless of the monitor's aspect ratio, so that can force a 4:3 video to play 16:9 on a widescreen monitor. In that case yes, the picture would appear stretched horizontally.

I always thought the term letterbox came from the picture being shaped like a letter (envelope) when displayed in its original aspect ratio.
