Aspect Ratio Settings
The aspect ratio of any picture is its width divided by its height. W/H = Aspect Ratio
The native aspect ratio of the m70L is 1.77. This is sometimes referred to as 16:9. This
is the HDTV picture format. The native resolution is HD (1920 x 1080).
Many pictures do not have this aspect ratio. Standard television, VGA, SVGA, and XGA
signals are 1.33. Movies from DVDs vary depending on the original film format, but
are often 1.85. The larger the number, the “wider” the picture seems.
When the incoming picture is a different aspect ratio from the screen, the display
gives you six choices (see
SCALE MODE
submenu page 39) to make it fit.
