DISPLAY FORMAT

Your DPTV is able to deliver

the lifelike, widescreen picture

(or “home cinema” viewing

experience) that is promised with

High Definition TV programming.

The Display Format control can be used to expand conventional

4:3 aspect ratio (width-to-height)

broadcasts in order to fit your DPTV’s widescreen 16:9 format;

or to reset the screen to best

match the current programming.

Note: In the past the

relationship between a TV

screen’s width to height, or aspect

ratio, has historically been 33%

wider than the picture screen

height (or a 4:3 aspect ratio). The

widescreen format of your DPTV

screen is nearly 80% greater than

its measure height (which

accounts for a 16:9 aspect ratio).

The reason for the 16:9 aspect

ratio screen is that it allows for the

dramatic and lifelike viewing of

original version movies and

cinemas (similar to the type found

in your local theaters). And the

16:9 aspect ratio widescreen is

also a good visual match for how

our eyes work in a horizontally

oriented field of view and action

plane.

the side margins of the screen.
