SCEPTRE X195 HDTV User Manual
Detailed Explanations
Aspect Ratio Explained
The X195 is a widescreen TV, but most TV programs are still broadcasting in a square format, therefore the TV is offering two ways of viewing videos. There are mainly two types of signal format, 16:9 (X195’s 16:9 is named normal) and 4:3. Simply use the ASPECT button on the TV to cycle between both modes and other extra modes.
1.Normal
This mode will stretch the picture to a widescreen ratio. If you have a perfect 16:9 ratio picture you will not see any black bars. If you are watching a widescreen movie in 1.85:1 or 2.35:1 ratio, you will still get black bars on the top and bottom of the screen.
2.Zoom
When watching a 4:3 aspect ratio TV or movie, this mode zooms in to cut off most of the black bars on the side while preserving the 16:9 ratio. Because of the zoom, the top and bottom are cut off as well.
