  | Image Size | Aspect ratio is the proportion of a vertical versus a | |
  | 
  | 
  | horizontal resolution, and it varies depending on the  | |
  | 
  | 
  | input video resolution. For example, 640x480, 800x600,  | |
  | 
  | 
  | ||
  | 
  | 
  | and 1024x768 have the aspect ratio of 4:3, and | |
  | 
  | 
  | 1280x1200 has the aspect ratio of 5:4. To view original  | |
  | 
  | 
  | image without geometrical distortion, aspect ratio must  | |
  | 
  | 
  | be preserved. The aspect ratio of SyncMaster240T is  | |
  | 
  | 
  | 16:10 that is neither 4:3 nor 5:4. Thus if the input image  | |
  | 
  | 
  | resolution has the aspect ratio of 4:3 or 5:4, full screen  | |
  | 
  | 
  | expansion to 16:10 makes image looked wider to the  | |
  | 
  | 
  | horizontal direction. This is not appropriate especially for  | |
  | 
  | 
  | those who do CAD, CAM, and Graphic oriented jobs. To  | |
  | 
  | 
  | resolve this, IMAGE SIZE control provides three different  | |
  | 
  | 
  | image expansion methods: Expanded 1, Expanded 2, and  | |
  | 
  | 
  | Normal. | 
  | 
nExpanded 1 Performs full screen image expansion regardless of the aspect ratio of the input video resolution
  | 
  | 
  | n Expanded 2 | Performs image expansion while keeping the aspect ratio of  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | the original video resolution. Usually, there will be some  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | unfilled space to the horizon direction.  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | n Normal  | Performs no image expansion. In this mode, input video is  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | displayed at the center of the monitor as it is.  |
