Widescreen (16:9 Aspect Ratio) Viewing Modes
Understanding Widescreen Modes
This plasma monitor is capable of displaying a widescreen image on the
native 16:9 aspect ratio screen. However, not all available broadcast or
video content fits perfectly in a widescreen (16:9) format resulting in
unused screen space. Please use the following guidelines to determine
suitable widescreen viewing modes available that best support the type of
broadcast / video content you wish to display. All widescreen viewing
modes are available by pressing the WIDE key. Pressing the WIDE key
will repeatedly cycle through:
Then we recommend the following three viewing
options:
For Widescreen Content
Many popular DVD titles are “anamorphic”
(widescreen); however, there are two predominant
“anamorphic” (widescreen) asepct ratios: 2.35:1 and
1.85:1. When 2.35:1 content is displayed on this
16:9 widescreen monitor, you will notice smaller
black bars on top or bottom of the screen. When a
1.85:1 content is displayed, you will still see black
bars, but not as large as 2.35:1.
If you do not want to see the black bars when
playing back a widescreen movie, you can set to
ZOOM 2 or ZOOM 3 to fully stretch the image.
4:3 (NORMAL)
In 4:3 mode, the
original 4:3
image is pre-
served but black
bars are added
to the the extra
space on the left
and right.
16:9 (FULL)
The original 4:3
image is propor-
tionally stretched
to fill the entire
screen.
PANORAMA
The original 4:3
image is
expanded in
both the
horizontal and
vertical
directions. The
center of the
picture is
almost normal
while the
endges are
considerably
expanded.
For 4:3 Aspect Ratio (Square) Content
Content from VCR, and some DVD’s are formatted
using a “square” 4:3 format:
ZOOM: 1
Zoom1 shifts the
image up to
faciliate the
display of sub-
titles.
ZOOM: 2
Zoom 2 is set to
stretch 1.85:1
content to full
screen eliminat-
ing the black
bars.
ZOOM: 3
Zoom 3 is set to
stretch 2.35:1
content to full
screen eliminat-
ing the black
bars.
Notes:
1.
4:3 and Panorama modes are not available when zoom mode is engaged.
2.
When using Component 1 and Component 2 inputs to display 480p, 1080i or 720p, Panorama mode is
not available.
3.
When using RGB or DVI inputs, only 4:3 and 16:9 modes are available.
4.
Do not stay in 4:3 mode for an extended period, as this may cause a permanent after-image to remain
on your screen.
