They chose to maximize the area of the LCD monitor for the 5x and 10x mag., and the LCD is in 4:3 format - which, when seen on a 16:9 monitor will be full height, with blank "wings". Since 4x mag preserves the whole frame with a central magnified window, it displays normally on the remote monitor, but with top and bottom blanks on the 4:3 LCD.

Since you see only a tiny part of the frame at 5-10x, I can't see this as a great limitation. You see exactly the same area at 5-10x on the camera's LCD screen, but it fills it. But in the GH3's 16:9 EVF the 5-10x views are cropped top and bottom compared to the LCD and remote monitor views.

There is no difference in the camera LCD or EVF mag. views with HDMI output.
