You can see a lengthy discussion here about phone screen aspect ratios being 18:9 or even larger.

It needs to be clear what the test would do on an 18:9 display phone and what would be a pass.
Would expect that if you 16:9 video, then it means no cropping of the video. You get black at the corners. You also keep square pixel. preserve aspect ratio, full video available, no cropping.
Document this observation. Should we also have none 16:9 content to test this experience?
4:3, 18:9, 21:9? Issue of new content, defer this.
Consider this "the video shall be scaled such that one side of the video fills the video/broadcast object fully without cropping the picture. The aspect ratio shall be preserved. Along the side where the video is shorter than the container, the video shall be centred. The area of the video plane not containing video shall be opaque black.".
"container" might not be the right word.
Implemented in v1.38 of spec. @jpiesing will add improved text.
Here is the revised proposal
"the video shall be scaled such that one side of the video fills the video output window fully without cropping the picture. The aspect ratio shall be preserved. Along the side where the video is shorter than the video output window, the video shall be centred. The area of the video plane not containing video shall be opaque black.".
i.e. the term "video output window" has been inserted which is widely used elsewhere in the spec.
@jpiesing If I read this correctly, the following text will replace item 2 in its entirety in 8.11.5.2 (i.e. deleting "i.e. If the output window aspect ratio is matching..." and "If the...is not matching...".
"Every video frame s[k,s] shall be rendered such that the video shall be scaled such that one side of the video fills the video output window fully without cropping the picture. The aspect ratio shall be preserved. Along the side where the video is shorter than the video output window, the video shall be centered. The area of the video plane not containing video shall be opaque black."
If this is the case I will make the edit to the spec along with the several others noted elsewhere.
Implemented in DPCTF v1.42.
The video is specified to be 16:9. What if the aspect ratio of the display is not 16:9 (e.g. many? mobile devices), what is expected?
What if the display has overscan like some TVs still do?
TVs still sometimes (in some modes) support over-scan
