Picture 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 standard-

definition TV.

16:9 (high-definition) source

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) source

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.
