Just two?

Their are more then two.
That's why no matter what the TV manufacture's set as their standard,
sometimes there are going to black bars.

* 1.33:1 A standard television set; roughly equivalent to 4:3.
* 1.37:1 Referred to as the academy aspect ratio.
The standard for films shot before the mid-1950s.
* 1.66:1 A bit wider than a standard TV, but not by much.
* 1.78:1 The dimensions of a widescreen television set;
roughly equivalent to 16:9.
* 1.85:1 Popular aspect ratio for many movies.
* 2.35: Another popular aspect ratio for movies.
