Selecting The Aspect Ratio - BenQ W700 User Manual

Selecting the aspect ratio

The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the image width to the image height. For W700/W710ST, the
default aspect ratio is 16:9. 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.
To change the projected image ratio (no matter what aspect the source is):
1. Press MENU/EXIT and then press
2. Press
3. Press

About the aspect ratio
In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active
areas. OSD menus can be displayed on those unused black areas.
1. Auto:
Scales an image proportionally to fit the
projector's native resolution in its
horizontal width. This is suitable for the
incoming image which is neither in 4:3
nor 16:9 and you want to make most use of
the screen without altering the image's
aspect ratio.
2.
Real:
The image is projected as its original
resolution, and resized to fit within the
display area. For input signals with lower
resolutions, the projected image will
display smaller than if resized to full
screen. You could adjust the zoom setting
or move the projector away from the
screen to increase the image size if
necessary. You may also need to refocus
the projector after making these
adjustments.
