Aspect Ratio and Wall Menu Options
Menu Item Description Setting(s)
Scale Mode Fill All makes the picture fit top-to-bottom and left-to-right regardless of how this stretches or compresses
the picture.
Letterbox/Pillarbox expands the picture until the first edges (top-bottom or left-right) touch the border of the
display, and then fills in the other sides with a solid color.
Crop expands the picture until the second edges touch the border and let the other edges of the picture fall
outside the display and get cropped.
Widescreen (16x9) forces the aspect ratio to 16 x 9 (1.77), the standard for many DVD movies. This will
distort any picture other than 16X9 aspect ratio pictures.
Normal Video (4x3) forces a 4 x 3 (1.33) aspect ratio, the ratio of standard television. Normal Video is used
to display YPbPr video on the analog input port.
One to One maintains the original size and aspect ratio of the picture. This may leave blank areas on all
four sides. For more information, see “Aspect Ratio and Scale Mode” on page 32.
Justify Justify determines which portion of a cropped picture to be cropped. Center
crops equal portions from the top and bottom (or sides). Bottom/Right crops off
just the top (or left). Top/Left crops off just the bottom (or right).
For letterboxed pictures, Justify determines the position of the image on the
screen. Center centers the image, Bottom/Right puts it at the right of the
screen (or bottom). Top/Left puts it at the top of the screen.
Top/Left, Center,
Bottom/Right
Overscan Zooms the image a small amount so that the outer edge is chopped off all
around. Conventional television sets overscan anywhere from 5 to 20%. A tele-
vision picture shown with no overscan may have objectionable lines or other
extraneous noise on the outer edges of the picture. By agreement among the
broadcast industry, for standard definition television, no titles or text will be
chopped off with as much as 20% overscan. No important action will be
chopped off with as much as 10% overscan.
