Basic Operations
Understanding Widescreen Modes
This monitor is capable of displaying a widescreen image on the native 16:9 aspect ratio screen. However, not all available video content fits perfectly in a widescreen (16:9) format resulting in unused screen space. This monitor is capable of displaying images in various formats that is suitable for various types of content depending on its size.
For 4:3 (Square) Content
Content from traditional TV, VCR, and some DVD’s are formatted using a “square” 4:3 format. When viewing content in this “Square” format the following viewing modes are suitable.
4:3 (NORMAL)
In 4:3 mode, the original 4:3 image is preserved but black bars are used to fill the the extra space on the left and right.
16:9 (FULL)
The original 4:3 image is proportionally stretched to fill the entire screen. This is the default setting from factory.
CINERAMA
The original 4:3 image is stretched only on the left and right sides to fill the screen, leaving the center image unchanged.
For Widescreen Content
Depending on the content displayed on this 16:9 monitor, you may notice smaller black bars on top or bottom of the screen. Use the following zoom modes to elimate black bars.
