8.2 WIDESCREEN (16:9 ASPECT RATIO) VIEWING
MODES
Understanding Widescreen Modes
This plasma monitor is capable of displaying a widescreen image on the
native 16:9 aspect ratio screen. However, not all available broadcast or
video content fits perfectly in a widescreen (16:9) format resulting in
unused screen space. Please use the following guidelines to determine
suitable widescreen viewing modes available that best support the type
of broadcast / video content you wish to display. All widescreen viewing
modes are available by pressing the WIDE key. Pressing the WIDE key
will repeatedly cycle through:
For 4:3 Aspect Ratio (Square) Content
Content from VCR, and some DVD’s are formatted using a “square” 4:3
format.
Then we recommend the following three viewing options:
■ 4:3 (NORMAL)
In 4:3 mode, the original 4:3 image is preserved but black bars are
added to the the extra space on the left and right.
■ 16:9 (FULL)
The original 4:3 image is proportionally stretched to fill the entire
screen.
■ PANORAMA
The original 4:3 image is expanded in both the horizontal and vertical
directions. The center of the picture is almost normal while the
edges are considerably expanded.
For Widescreen Content
Many popular DVD titles are "anamorphic" (widescreen); however,
there are two predominant “anamorphic” (widescreen) aspect ratios:
2.35:1 and 1.85:1. When a 2.35:1 content is displayed on this 16:9
widescreen monitor, you will notice smaller black bars on top or
bottom of the screen. When a 1.85:1 content is displayed, you will still
see black bars, but not as large as 2.35:1.
If you do not want to see the black bars when playing back a widescreen
movie, you can set to ZOOM 2 or ZOOM 3 to fully stretch the image.
■ ZOOM: 1
Zoom1 shifts the image up to faciliate the display of subtitles.
■ ZOOM: 2
Zoom 2 is set to stretch 1.85:1 content to full screen eliminating the
black bars.
■ ZOOM: 3
Zoom 3 is set to stretch 2.35:1 content to full screen eliminating the
black bars.
