Aspect Ratio Explained
The TV will display the TV channel’s signal format automatically. There are
mainly two types of signal format, 16:9 and 4:3.
1. 1:1 Mode
This mode will 1 to 1 pixel ratio for the maximum resolution (1080P) of the TV. This
mode should only be used for 1080P video sources such as PS3s or Blu-Ray DVD
players. Please Note: If you use this mode for watching TV stations, sometimes
you may or may not see dotted lines or lines along the edge of the screen. This
is considered normal and part of your TV station signal. 1:1 mode is only used
for HD game consoles and disc players and should not be used to watch
regular TV HD or non-HD programming.
2. 16:9
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. If you use this mode on 4:3 pictures they will
be stretched and distorted horizontally.
