CHANGING THE SCREEN ASPECT RATIO The Display can display images in five different modes: Normal, Stretch, Panoramic, Wide, and Zoom. Each mode displays the picture differently. Some programs have black bars on the top or sides of the picture so that the picture keeps its original shape. Examples include wide-screen movies and older television programs. To change the screen aspect ratio: 1. Press the WIDE button on the remote. 2. Use the Arrow buttons to highlight the aspect ratio you wish to view and press OK. • Normal preserves the content's original aspect ratio and size. • Standard Definition (480i and 480p-old Display programs) - Since the 4:3 aspect ratio is not large enough to fill the Display's screen, black bars are added to the left and right of the display image. • 720p - Fills a 720p or 1080p screen. • 1080p and 1080i HD - Fills a 720p or 1080p screen. • Stretch expands a widescreen image to fill the screen from top to bottom and stretches it half as much from right to left. Figures appear tall and thin. • Standard Definition - Not available. • 720p - If you are watching widescreen 1.85:1 content, the image will fill the screen. With 2.35:1 widescreen content, one-sixth of the image is cut off by the left and right sides of the screen. • 1080p and 1080i - Not available. • Panoramic stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the left and right edges of the screen. The center of the image is not stretched, but the sides of the image are extremely stretched. If you are watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content with black bars on the top and bottom, the black bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display image. • Standard Definition (480i and 480p) - Fills the screen from the left to right edges. • 720p - Not available. • 1080p and 1080i - Not available. • Wide stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the edges of the screen. Since the picture is being stretched, the display image may appear distorted-figures appear short and fat. If the program is already formatted for widescreen viewing (1.85:1 or 2.35:1), then black bars will appear on the top and bottom of the display image. • Zoom expands images evenly in all directions (33% taller and 33% wider) with black bars to fit the screen. A 720p image will fill a 1080p screen. • Standard Definition - Not available. • 720p - Fills a 720p screen • 1080p and 1080i - Not available. Normal Panoramic Wide Zoom Tip: The aspect ratio cannot be changed for Ultra HD, HDR content or for any video content on HDMI-4. Note: Aspect ratio settings may vary by Input source. 3 12
