• You can choose an aspect ratio independently for each input source.
• Available aspect ratio options are dependent on the type of input signal being
selected. When viewing PC input (via D-Sub or DVI), only "16:9" and "4:3" are
available for selection.
• If the input video signal is in letter box format, select "Letter Box" to obtain a
wider viewable area.
• In order to avoid possible "image retention" or "screen burn-in" on the LCD
screen of your TV, it is recommended that you change the aspect ratio from
time to time, and prevent the TV from displaying a static image for a prolonged
period of time.
