Widescreen is the standard. It always has been...it was just really expensive to make it with vacuum tubes. (I have seen a widescreen CRT though. It was enormous and weighed about 100lbs. It was probably 1 of 2 sold by Dell.) Digital TV is now broadcast in widescreen format, movies are widescreen, DVDs are widescreen (except for the weird ones that they chopped the sides off of so that they fit the height of ancient TVs.)
