So the Pandora has a widescreen format of 5:3. I'm assuming that this means that its screen is 5/3times as wide as it is tall. Right? The overall surface is supposed to equal that of the PSP's screen (the diagonal being 4.3 inches for both), right? But then again, the PSP has a ratio of 16:9. So basically the PSP is even more of a widescreen device than the Pandora (5:3 = 15:9). Surely that means that the Pandora's screen eventually isn't as wide as but taller than the PSP's. Or am I wrong?
Since most (if not all) of the emulated TV consoles will have their game visuals in 4:3 (12:9), there will be black borders to the right and left. But will the taller screen allow the Pandora to utilize more of the actual screen surface for display than the PSP utilizes? Will less space of the screen be occupied by black borders or will borders show up at the top and bottom as well?
In short: Will my PSX games look bigger when running on a Pandora compared to running on a PSP?
And am I right when assuming the screens will look like this when compared:
