Detailed Explanations

Aspect Ratio Explained

The X420 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,

FULL (16:9), and 4:3. Simply use the ASPECT button on the TV to cycle between both modes.

1. 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.

2. 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.
