Why? The TV or monitor is connected via HDMI. We only need that standard, current 1.4a. HDMI 2.0 (UHD 2160p, 4k) is another game.

HDMI 1.4a - 3D mandatory formats:
- frame packed (full size, BD)
- half SBS, half TAB (HDTV, bandwidth)

Since many of the capabilities detailed in the HDMI 1.4 specification are optional implementations, it’s the responsibility of the manufacturer to tell you what features are supported in the device.

Receivers with HDMI 1.4a can automatically detect the format. The aspect ratio in every case is 16:9!
Displays have an EDID table due to standard. That's why cropping (to other AR, 2.40...) will mess up the picture, but some dudes don't get it.

So if the stream has other formats, the player has to convert to one of the mandatory HDMI formats. Potplayer and Stereoscopic Player can do a lot.
