Strictly speaking, a TV receiver is the device that decodes a transmitted signal but it's safe to assume that the question refers to a television or monitor.
Conventional televisions have an aspect ratio of 4 : 3, that is the width is 4 units wide compared to the height which is 3 units wide. Widescreen televisions have an aspect ratio of 16 : 9.
16 : 9 is the only aspect ratio for HD television. In North America, SD television is 4 : 3 only. In Europe however, 16 : 9 became the norm for standard definition television some years ago. Television broadcasts have now moved exclusively to a widescreen format even if they are in SD.
You can't just change the aspect ratio of your tv. The original aspect ratio will always be the same for your TV. However, you can choose to stretch the image to fit your TV screen, but it will become distorted.
HD television formats always use an aspect ratio of 16 : 9. For that reason, all HD televisions have that aspect ratio. A 12 : 9 (or 4 : 3) aspect ratio is only used with standard definition video signals so any 4 : 3 television will be a standard definition model only.
That is called the aspect ratio.
The aspect ratio of a computer monitor or a television screen is its horizontal length divided by its vertical length, both measured in the same units.
The aspect ration for this television is 16:9
This aspect ratio is known as 4:3, which was the standard for television screens before the industry shifted to widescreen formats.
(For televisions) Aspect ratio is the ratio of the width of the television screen to the height. TVs do not have taper ratios. (For airplanes) Aspect ratio is a ratio of the wing span squared to the wing's reference area. This gives you a sense of how thin/slender a wing will appear from the top view of the aircraft. High aspect ratio means a long/extended wing. b² / S ("b" is wing span, "S" is wing area) Taper ratio is the ratio of the wingtip's length to the wing root's length. This gives you a sense of the angle the shape of the wing. High taper ratio means a triangular shaped wing. t/r ("t" is length of the wingtip, "r" is length of wing's root)
The typical width to height aspect ratio for a widescreen television is 4:3. It varies depending on the brand and overall size.
Aspect ratio then cinema zoom then move it to 14 or 15
TV screens amd monitors.
This a way to describe the width compared to the height of the picture. Standard TV is 4 by 3 and HDTV is 16 by 9, meaning the picture is wider than it is high. Movies are made in many different aspects but always wider than it is high.
This is a way of displaying a wide screen (16:9 aspect ratio) on a normal television screen (4:3 aspect ratio). It is done with black bars above and beneath the picture. These are sometimes called "popcorn bars."
