Aspect Ratio Settings

Note: The display is not capable of compressing the image in one direction while stretching it in the other. For example, if you try to display a UXGA (1600 x 1200) on an m70L (1920 x 1080) at Fill All, the display will letterbox the image and the following note will appear at the bottom of the menu: “Can’t display - Change Scale Mode.” You can leave the scale mode at Fill All or change it to Letterbox. You can also select Crop or One to One.

Note: The SCALE MODE menu icons change to indicate the effect each mode will have on the picture based on the JUSTIFY and SCALE MODE settings, and the source resolution.

Fill All makes the picture fit top-to-bottom and left-to-right, regardless of how this stretches or compresses the picture. Fill All distorts the picture, when the aspect ratio of the incoming picture is not the same as the display.

Crop

No distortion

Crops width of image; fits height of image without distortion

Crops top and bottom of image; fits width of image without distortion

Displays full image without distortion

Crop expands non-native aspect ratio pictures until the second edges touch the border and lets the other edges of the picture fall outside the display and get cropped.

Letterbox/ Pillarbox

No distortion

Fits width of image without distortion; fills height with border

Fits height of image without distortion; fills width with border

Displays full image without distortion

Letterbox/Pillarbox expands the picture until the first edges (top-bottom or left-right) touch the border of the display, and then fills in the other sides with a solid color.
