Screen Format
The Screen Format feature allows you to change how the image is displayed on screen. The options are Normal, Cinerama, FlexWide, or Zoom. If you want to adjust your image, choose an option below:
Normal The image of a 4:3 video signal is centered with bars on the right and left sides of the screen. The 16:9 image is kept to its 16:9 format.
Cinerama The image of a 4:3 video signal is centered, expanding in the horizontal direction to fill the display with little distortion. Cinerama isn’t available for 16:9, so the Normal format is displayed.
FlexWide The image of a 4:3 video signal is stretched horizontally by approximately 33% while the vertical size stays the same. The 16:9 image is compressed in width.

Zoom The image of a 4:3 video signal increases by approximately 33% and the vertical size increases by approximately 33%. Edges of the image might be cropped. The 16:9 image is zoomed in on, possibly cropping the edges of the image.
