Selecting the aspect ratio

The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the image width to the image height. Most analog TV and
computers are in 4:3 ratio, and digital TV and DVDs are usually in 16:9 ratio.
With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector can
dynamically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the image
input signal.

4:3: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the

DVD movies, as it displays them without aspect
alteration.
3.
16:9: Scales an image so that it is displayed in
the center of the screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
This is most suitable for images which are
already in a 16:9 aspect, like high definition TV,
as it displays them without aspect alteration.
