Aspect Ratio Settings

The aspect ratio of any picture is its width divided by its height. W/H = Aspect Ratio

The native aspect ratio of the m70L is 1.77. This is sometimes referred to as 16:9. This is the HDTV picture format. The native resolution is HD (1920 x 1080).

Many pictures do not have this aspect ratio. Standard television, VGA, SVGA, and XGA signals are 1.33. Movies from DVDs vary depending on the original film format, but are often 1.85. The larger the number, the “wider” the picture seems.

When the incoming picture is a different aspect ratio from the screen, the display gives you six choices (see SCALE MODE submenu page 39) to make it fit.
