Re: Station idents become invisible to the TV viewer

On a 2:1 ( aka 18:9) OLED screen that's playing common 16:9 video the hole (or notch) won't be visible.

That said, Samsung's useful web video player lets you zoom and crop 16:9 video, stretch it, or just watch it nativily with invisible ( OLED is nice) black bars at either side. I just wish BBC iPlayer for any OS would allow adjustment of aspect ratio rather than assuming everyone has a 16:9 screen. My laptop is 16:10 and my phone 2:1, so there have been times I've been forced to watch iPlayer video with black bars on *all* sides (4:3 footage on 16:10 screen and 2.39:1 footage on a 2:1 screen).
