1024x768 should be equivalent to a 4:3 screen ratio, but standard 4:3 videos don't fit the screen either. So I don't think it can really be 1024x768. Or they use pixels that aren't the standard pixel ratio, which is usually 1:1. It is not uncommon for manufacturers to do that. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_aspect_ratio)

It's not really about the pixel dimensions, but whatever the reason, neither 4:3 movies nor 16:9 movies fit the screen properly.
