Widescreen (16x9)

picture other than 16 x 9 aspect ratio pictures. Widescreen can be used to display anamorphic DVDs on an array.

Normal Video (4x3)
forces a 4 x 3 (1.33) aspect ratio, the ratio of standard television. Normal Video is used to display
standard video on the analog or component inputs. Its resolution is 720 x 640, which is not 4 x 3, but it should be
displayed as 4 x 3 (the pixels aren't square).

One to One
maintains the original size and aspect ratio of the picture. This may leave blank areas on all four sides. For
instance, a VGA picture (640 x 480) on a 16 x 9 display will occupy only a small area in the center of the screen. For UXGA
sources on a 16 x 9 display, this will crop the picture top, bottom, and sides. The primary use of One to One is to display the
image without scaling artifacts and with minor cropping.

The One to One Scale Mode will produce different cropping results and the image size will be different for each input
