There is a difference actually ... take both 16:9 and 4:3 with 14" diameter, the area covered by the 4:3 will be bigger then the area of 16:9 screen.
For example, a 21" 4:3 has 218 square inches while 21" 16:9 widescreen has 211 square inches ... its very little for a single screen, but its huge if it comes to thousands of sold screens.
