Zoom Modes

Many DVD titles are “anamorphic” (widescreen). There are two predominant “anamorphic” (widescreen) aspect ratios: 2.35:1 and 1.85:1. When 2.35:1 is displayed on this 16:9 widescreen monitor, there will be small black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. When a 1.85:1 content is displayed, the black bars on the top and bottom will be slimmer than those of 2.35:1.

This plasma monitor is capable of displaying a widescreen image on its native 16:9 aspect ratio. However, not all available broadcast or video contents fit perfectly on widescreen (16:9) format, resulting in unused screen space. Use the following guidelines to determine the most suitable widescreen viewing mode.

4:3 — 4:3 image is centered on the display, black bars are added to the extra space on the left and right

16:9 — 4:3 image is proportionally stretched to fill the entire screen.

Zoom 14:9 —Stretch 1.85:1 content to full screen, eliminating black bars on the sides.

Zoom 16:9 — Stretch 2.35:1 content to full screen, eliminating the black bars on the sides.

Zoom 16:9 Subtitle — Stretches and shifts the image up to facilitate display of subtitles.

Cinerama — 4:3 image is expanded in the horizontal and vertical directions. The center of the picture is almost normal while the edges are expanded.

Notes: When using the RGB and DVI inputs, the only available zoom options are 16:9 and 4:3.

Cinerama is not available when using component video (Y Pb Pr).
