•DVDs are usually labeled either FULLSCREEN or WIDESCREEN. FULLSCREEN DVDs produce a 4:3 image as shown above, and WIDESCREEN DVDs produce a 16:9 image as shown above, sometimes with or without thin black bars on the top or bottom of the picture. If you are purchasing DVDs for enjoyment with your projector, WIDESCREEN versions of DVDs will fill most of the screen and produce the best viewing results.
