Is there any way to show 16:9 on a 4:3 monitor not squeezed?

Is there any way to show 16:9 on a 4:3 monitor not squeezed?
I bought an old Panasonic monitor.
I have an HVX200.

The image is squeezed unless I use 480i and select normal opr letterboxed. But normal is not using the whole ccd so i want to use 16:9. Not to mention any HD usage.

Is there a setting or another way to add letterboxed bars on the top and bottom of the 16:9 image to see it on the older monitor (made in 91)? Is there some sort of widget that does this?

Thanks.

Not on an HVX200. You either need to use a monitor with a 16:9 switch on it, or the new HPX170 can letterbox its video output for display on a 4:3 monitor. But the HVX doesn't have that.

Cool, Thanks Barry, I am getting an HPX170 next week. I am happy this new/old monitor will work with it.
