About the 4:3 Aspect Ratio
The 4:3 ratio (1.333:1) was the original standard for television and early computer monitors. It dominated screen technology from the invention of TV until the mid-2000s transition to widescreen 16:9 displays.
Today, 4:3 remains relevant for iPad displays (which use 2048 x 1536), presentation software like PowerPoint, and many security camera systems. The iconic 1024 x 768 resolution was the most common computer display resolution for over a decade.
