Understanding Widescreen Modes
This TV is capable of displaying a widescreen image on the native 16:9 aspect ratio screen. However, not all
available video content fits perfectly in a widescreen (16:9) format resulting in unused screen space. This TV
is capable of displaying images in various formats that is suitable for various types of content depending on its
size.
For 4:3 (Square) Content
Content from traditional TV, VCR, and some DVD's are formatted using a "square" 4:3 format. When
viewing content in this "Square" format the following viewing modes are suitable.
