The aspect ratio is the proportional ratio of a TV/display width and height. Older
television sets generally have a 4:3 aspect ratio – the width is 4/3 (or 1.33) times the
height. Newer wide screen television sets have a 16:9 aspect ratio – the width is
16/9 (or 1.78) times the height. For best performance, the video output of your

image appearance on the screen can be one of the following:
