Hopefully, 4:3 broadcasts will disappear to be replaced with 16:9.

Aside from HD, You get a much better view of the playing field (Hockey, soccer, American pointy-ball (aka "Football"), basketball, etc... with 16:9 Sports broadcasts. And since most films are at an even wider aspect ratio, it helps to have 16:9 display capability.

I don't even know if you can buy a 4:3 display anymore.
