3. Selecting the aspect ratio

The "aspect ratio" is the ratio of the image width to the image height. Most analog TV signals and computers are in 4:3 ratio and digital TV and DVDs are usually in 16:9 ratio.

With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector can dynamically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the image input source. Images can be stretched in a linear manner so the whole of the image is stretched equally, or non-linearly, which distorts the image.

You can change the projected image ratio (no matter what aspect the source is) by using the Aspect buttons on the remote control or in the Display > Aspect Ratio OSD menu. Select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal and your display requirements. There are five aspect ratios available:
