3.1. Aspect Ratio

Aspect Ratio refers to the ratio of the vertical length to the horizon- tal length (number of pixels) of the display or image.

The LaCie 324i supports the following aspect ratios:

16:9 16:10 4:3

16:10 is the default format of the LaCie 324i LCD Monitor, corre- sponding to a 1920 x 1200 resolution, a standard for computers. The 324i can expand 4:3 or 16:9 signals to its native aspect ratio.
