Quality

and Aspect Ratio

You can enjoy crisp, clear images, smooth movement and high-impact visuals from 1080 HD
signals. When you compare a high-definition signal to a standard analog signal, you will notice a
big difference.
High-definition and standard-definition signals are transmitted with different aspect ratios (the
width-to-height ratio of the image). HDTV uses a wider screen than conventional standarddefinition TV.

Most HDTV signals use a wide screen aspect ratio
of 16:9. The 16:9 fills your BRAVlA screen,
maintaining a crisp, clear, vivid picture.
4:3 (standard-definition)

Most standard-definition signals use a boxy 4:3
aspect ratio. When a 4:3 image is displayed on an
HDTV, you will see black bars on the sides. The
picture quality may not be as sharp as with HD
sources.
