Happy new Year to you too, sorry about the delay, I've been away.
Regarding your screen
69 / 1360 ~ 0.05
38.5 / 768 ~ 0.05
so you have square pixels about 500 micrometers (0.5 mm) wide and tall.

I'm a little unsure as to why you would want to play a 4:3 video at 16:9 
[0] but thats up to you, glad you found a work around, if you call 
gmplayer -aspect 16:9 you can still have the GUI.
