Aspect Ratio Explained

The TV will display the TV channel’s signal format automatically. There are mainly two types of signal format, 16:9 and 4:3.

1.16:9

This mode will stretch the picture to a widescreen ratio. If you have a perfect 16:9 ratio picture you will not see any black bars. If you are watching a widescreen movie in 1.85:1 or 2.35:1 ratio, you will still get black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. If you use this mode on 4:3 pictures they will be stretched and distorted horizontally.
