(recommended
,node):
• Picture is horizontally
stretched,
with bars at the top and bottom.
• Lower picture quality than in the Compression
mode because of a
reduction
in the scanning lines.
• Slightly
lower chance of permanently
engraining
stationary patterns
on the
picture tube than in the Compression
mode.
Compression:
• Picture is vertically
compressed,
with bars at the top and bottom.
• Better picture quality than in the
Letterbox mode because of more
effective use of scanning lines.
Letterbox and Compression
modes have bars at top and
bottom of screen. See "Notice of
possible adverse effects on TV
picture tube," at right.
• Greater chance of permanently engraining stationary patterns on
the picture tube than in the Letterbox mode, since there is no
raster in the bars at top and bottom.
