Widescreen (16x9) forces the aspect ratio to 16 x 9 (1.77), the standard for many DVD movies. This will distort any picture other than 16 x 9 aspect ratio pictures. Widescreen can be used to display anamorphic DVDs on an array.

.

Normal Video (4x3) forces a 4 x 3 (1.33) aspect ratio, the ratio of standard television. Normal Video is used to display standard video on the analog or component inputs. Its resolution is 720 x 640, which is not 4 x 3, but it should be displayed as 4 x 3 (the pixels aren't square).

One to One

No distortion

Example above represents an XGA input on an XGA resolution display (1024 x 768)

Fits width of image without distortion; fills height with border

Example above represents a 1080i (1920 x 1080) resolution

Displays image without distortion at actual size with border on all sides

Example above represents a VGA input

Displays full image without distortion

Example above is for 1366 x 768 input on 1366 x 768 native resolution or 1920 x 1080 input on 1920 x 1080 native resolution

One to One maintains the original size and aspect ratio of the picture. This may leave blank areas on all four sides. For instance, a VGA picture (640 x 480) on a 16 x 9 display will occupy only a small area in the center of the screen. For UXGA sources on a 16 x 9 display, this will crop the picture top, bottom, and sides. The primary use of One to One is to display the image without scaling artifacts and with minor cropping.

The One to One Scale Mode will produce different cropping results and the image size will be different for each input resolution.
