40 m70L Installation & Configuration Guide
Note: The display is not capable of compressing the image in one direction while stretching
it in the other. For example, if you try to display a UXGA (1600 x 1200) on an m70L (1920 x
1080) at Fill All, the display will letterbox the image and the following note will appear at the
bottom of the menu: “Can’t display - Change Scale Mode.” You can leave the scale mode at
Fill All or change it to Letterbox. You can also select Crop or One to One.
Note: The
SCALE MODE
menu icons change to indicate the effect each mode will have on
the picture based on the
JUSTIFY
and
SCALE MODE
settings, and the source resolution.
