Centre

Cut

The centre portion only of any widescreen (16:9)

transmissions will display.

14:9 You see a wider portion of a widescreen (16:9)

transmission than with ‘centre cut-out’, but you do

not see the entire picture. The picture does not ﬁll

the screen.

Letter Box The whole of any widescreen transmissions will

display, but black bars will appear at the top and

bottom of the screen.

Pillar Box The whole of the picture displays, as if it were on a

standard TV, with black bars at either side of the

picture.

14:9 The picture displays slightly enlarged, so it ﬁlls more

of the screen, but is slightly cropped at the top and

bottom. Note: some programmes are transmitted in

a 14:9 format, with black borders included at the top

and bottom. In this case, only the transmitted

borders are cropped so you do not lose any of the

TV picture.

Stretch The whole of the picture displays, stretched

sideways to ﬁll your TV screen.
