Detailed Explanations

The X23 is a widescreen TV, but most TV programs are still broadcasting in a

square format, therefore the TV is offering two ways of viewing videos. There

are mainly two types of signal format, 16:9 (X23's 16:9 is named full) and 4:3.

Simply use the ASPECT button on the TV to cycle between both modes.

Full

This mode will stretch the picture to a widescreen ratio. If you have a

perfect 16:9 ratio picture you will not see any black bars. If you are

watching a widescreen movie in 1.85:1 or 2.35:1 ratio, you will still get

black bars on the top and bottom of the screen.

4:3

Most analog TV channels have 4:3 signal formats. If the original 4:3

aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) is preserved, black bars are added to the left

and right of the display image. This aspect keeps that aspect ratio and

shows you the black bars on the side.
