aspect-ratio

Many people choosing between 16:9 and 4:3 TVs wonder how much picture they’ll be missing when viewing differently shaped programs. DVD and other wide-screen video shown on a standard TV have black bars, known as letterbox bars, above and below the wide-screen image. Conversely, regular programs shown on a wide-screen TV have pillarbox bars on either side of the picture.

In this video tutorial, we will explore the concept of aspect ratios. We also explore the concept of field of view and show you the best distance to watch TV (traditional 4:3 versus wide screen 16:9 televisions). We explore the differences between wide screen Tvs and Regular Analog Tvs.
