The picture format (for example »16:9«) is displayed.

You can choose between the following

picture­ formats:

The picture format is automatically switched to »16:9« for 16:9 programmes.

The picture format is automatically switched to »4:3« for 4:3 programmes.

»Panorama« format

This setting is suitable for films in an especially wide format.

During programmes in 4:3 format, the picture is stretched horizontally if the »Panorama« function is selected. The picture geometry is stretched horizontally.

»Overscan« format

In this mode, HD pictures are not cropped by the HDMI sockets or component sockets, and are displayed in their original size. This only applies in HDMI mode and for resolutions of 720p or above.

»16:9« and »14:9« formats

For programmes in 4:3 format, the picture is stretched horizontally if the »16:9« format or »14:9« format is selected.
