Close to widescreen: PSP and Switch nearly fill it. 4:3 home consoles show bars at the sides.
Based on: Display math: native screen shapes of each system
Sharpest fit: PSP
At 4x, PSP fills 91% of the screen with even pixels. Filling the rest means stretching, which some people smooth with a filter.
