Not all television sets are created equal.  This means that the display area will often mismatch the actual picture.  If a developer does not properly compensate for certain factors, the results are usually not good.  There will be ugly black borders on some user's picture output and in some cases certain elements will even be placed outside the physical display range, such as buttons and status elements (health, lives, ammo, score, etc).  For the end-user, this can be frustrating and even confusing.

This is a table based on user feedback indicating whether or not a the latest version of a given application is likely to show correctly on different types of displays.  If an {{X Mark}} appears it means support is absent or incomplete, meaning some users may experience no problems while others will.  Some televisions will automatically compensate for a discrepancy and should therefore NOT be used as a basis for judgment of properly implemented video output unless the auto-compensation can be disabled.  Console mode applications are not included.
