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 m40L/m46L is 1.77, which is sometimes referred to as
16:9. The native resolution of the m40L is WXGA (1366 x 768).The native resolution of
the m46L 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 below) to make it fit.
