From the early 1990's onwards, so even 16:9 sets are already becoming vintage (prototypes were made as early as the 1950's). Many (or at least some) 4:3 sets had a button on the remote to adjust vertical deflection size for anamorphic 16:9 signals, so you could view an undistorted 16:9 image with letterbox bars.
Of course, to compensate for overscan or geometric distortion, the TS could adjust his V-size and H-size presets.
