The ST could be connected to a CRT monitor or a CRT TV. Not all 
CRT/monitor TV had some knobs to strech image horizontally or 
vertically, they had some default settings that you couldn't change.

And in that case, with those default "industrial accepted" settings, the 
pixels were not square. It doesn't change that you could modify the 
monitor settings later, the horizontal and vertical clock rates of the 
pal/secam signals (or ntsc in other countries) as output by the shifter 
meant that the pixels were not perfectly square.

This wat not necessarily visible back then, due to the "bluriness" of 
the RGB matrix on CRT, but it's in direct relation to the clock signal 
output by the ST.
