Simply put it's taking into account what you'd be able to put on the screen while still keeping everything the same distance. The distance of the picture doesn't change, the ratio of the displays size does.
Edit: Of course, 16:9 is not limited to HD an you can find some 16:9 displays that are not HD however most are 4:3.
