The aspect ratio of a LCD display is the proportional relationship of its width compared to its height. The two numbers are commonly separated by a colon. The most common aspect ratios are 16:9 (aka widescreen) and 4:3 (closer to the shape of a square monitor, such as old CRT’s and TV’s). It is best to choose a monitor with the same aspect ratio as your video signal. You cannot customize a monitor’s native aspect ratio, so it is critical to know the aspect ratio of your incoming video signal beforehand. Use this handy screen ratio calculator to determine what you need.

Aspect Ratio (short: A/R) is the width of an image or screen, divided by the height. In landscape orientation, the A/R is > 1, for portrait orientation the A/R is < 1 and for square screens, this is = 1.

In order to avoid video images which are stretched, chopped, squeezed, shrunk or distorted, be sure to choose a LCD monitor with a aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9) that matches your camera or other incoming video signal.

There’s no doubt that today’s HD televisions look fantastic. However, are 16:9 aspect ratio monitors really the best choice for your industrial/commercial project?

Aspect ratio is the relationship of the width of a video image compared to its height. The two most common aspect ratios are 4:3, also known as 1.33:1 or fullscreen, and 16:9, also known as 1.78:1 or widescreen. (Larger aspect ratio formats are used in the motion picture industry.)

All the older TV’s and computer monitors you grew up with had the squarish 4:3 shape-- 33 percent wider than it was high. 4:3 LCD monitors can display analog video signals that conform to NTSC and PAL standards. They are not capable of displaying HD (high-definition) video.

The 4:3 aspect ratio dates back to 1917, when the Society of Motion Picture Engineers adopted it as the standard format for film. In the 1930’s, the television industry adopted the same 4:3 standard. But in the mid-1950’s, the motion picture industry began developing several widescreen formats to improve their decreasing audience numbers. Television broadcasting stayed with the 4:3 standard, until the recent move to HDTV and 16:9 widescreens.

16:9 is the native aspect ratio of most high-definition LCD monitors and TV’s (15:9 and 16:10 are very similar). It is 78 percent wider than it is tall, and fully one-third wider than a 4:3 screen. 16:9 widescreen monitors are ideally suited to display HD video signals. Some models can also display SD (standard definition) video signals, but this will require some compromises, as you will read below.

Nearly all experts agree that in order to display optimal video images, it is critical to match the aspect ratio of the monitor to the aspect ratio of the camera (or other incoming video source). Below is a example of a 16:9 image on a 16:9 monitor:

However, the majority of cameras in the industrial, commercial, security, and law enforcement industries still utilize 4:3 CCD or CMOS imagers. Therefore, to display clear, undistorted video images, it is important to utilize monitors with the same 4:3 aspect ratio to match the cameras. Failure to do so will result in distorted images, as shown below.

Unfortunately, despite the continued widespread use of 4:3 cameras, LCD monitors with a 4:3 aspect ratio are getting harder and harder to find, as many manufacturers have transitioned to the newer 16:9 widescreens. TRU-Vu Monitors still offers a complete line of industrial-grade 4:3 aspect ratio LCD monitors. These range in size from 3.5” to 20” screens, in standard, touch screen, rack mount, sunlight readable, medical-grade, optically bonded and open frame LCD monitor configurations. See www.TRU-VuMonitors.com for more details.

16:9 widescreen LCD monitors are the ideal complement to 16:9 format HD cameras, increasingly used in video conferencing, broadcast and medical applications. They display superb, distortion-free, high-definition images. TRU-Vu Monitors offers these in 21.5” to 46” LCD screen sizes, in standard, touch screen, sunlight readable, medical-grade, optically bonded and open frame configurations.

In conclusion, in order to avoid video images which are stretched, chopped, squeezed, shrunk or distorted, be sure to choose a LCD monitor with a aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9) that matches your camera or other incoming video signal.

The role of aspect ratio in digital video has caused quite a bit of confusion, partly because there are actually three types of aspect ratio, not just one. The kind of aspect ratio most people know is the Display Aspect Ratio (DAR). This is the ratio of the width to the height of the display frame for the video, the aspect ratio of what we see. Typically, this ratio is 16:9 (widescreen) or 4:3 (full screen).

There are, however, two other kinds of aspect ratio that play an important role in digital video: the Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR), and the aspect ratio of the stored data which we will call the Storage Aspect Ratio (SAR). We will try to clarify here how these three aspect ratios work and what role they play in digital video.

When digital video is stored into a file or on a disc, it is stored with a particular frame size and aspect ratio, the SAR. If the viewing aspect ratio, the DAR, matches the SAR, then the process of the displaying the stored video is simply a matter of proportionally scaling it to the correct size. For this situation, DAR = SAR. An example of this might be a 16:9 display showing video stored with a frame size of 1280x720 pixels. Both have the same aspect ratio.

In other cases, the video may be stored with an aspect ratio SAR that does not match the display. Here the process of displaying the video involves distorting the stored video ratio SAR to make it match the desired viewing aspect ratio DAR. An example of this might be a 16:9 display showing video stored with a frame size of 720 x 480 pixels. The SAR is 720:480 = 3:2, an aspect ratio which does not match the 16:9 display. The stored video must be stretched horizontally or squeezed vertically to match the display correctly.

The latter situation is often referred to as "anamorphic" video. To correct for it, we introduce the third type of aspect ratio, the Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR). The basic relationship between the three apect ratios is DAR = PAR * SAR.

Anamorphic video with non-square pixels is more of an issue for Standard Definition (SD) video rather than for High Definition (HD) video. This is mostly because of the widespread use of SD compression formats such the DV camcorder formats and DVD discs. SD video for these formats is typically stored with a frame size of 720x480 pixels (NTSC video) or 720x576 pixels. These correspond to SAR values of 3:2 and 5:4 respectively. Since the video DAR display aspect ratio is either 4:3 or 16:9, the pixels are non-square and the PAR is not 1:1.

For HD video, the DAR display aspect ratio became fixed at 16:9. During the transition to HD, however, several "high-definition" compression formats were introduced for camcorders. These include formats such as DVCPRO-HD, HDV, HDCAM, XDCAM, etc. Because of data rate limitations, these formats may not necesarily store video in native 16:9 formats, but instead may use squeezed anamorphic formats. Examples include using 960x720 instead of true 720p (1280x720), and 1280x1080 or 1440x1080 instead of 1080i or 1080p (1920x1080). All of these formats therefore use non-square pixels with PAR pixel aspect ratios that are not 1:1.

More recent HD storage formats such as AVCHD, Blu-ray, DNxHD, ProRes 422, etc. all store HD video in the native frame size. In other words, 1280x720 is stored as 1280x720 and 1920x1080 is stored as 1920x1080. As a result, the DAR and SAR aspect ratios are the same and the PAR aspect ratio is 1:1. These newer HD formats are therefore not anamorphic.

The motion picture industry uses a variety of display aspect ratios, ranging from the nearly 4:3 "Academy" ratio of 1.37:1 used up until the 1950s, to extreme widescreen formats such as Panavision, VistaVision, or CinemaScope at 2.39:1 or even 2.67:1. Most modern films use a ratio of 1.85:1 which is somewhat flatter than 16:9 (1.78:1).

The digital video aspect of 16:9 was chosen as a compromise size to best accomodate the various widescreen sizes in use in the film industry. Conversion of film into 16:9 digital video formats is fairly straightforward. Since film aspect ratios are somewhat flatter than 16:9, in what is known as the "letterbox" process black bars are added above and below the image as padding during the digital transfer.

In the case of older films and TV broadcasts with aspect ratios closer to the "full-screen" ratio of 4:3, there are typically two methods used to convert the material into a 16:9 aspect ratio. The first method is called "pillarbox" and it involves adding black bars as padding on the left and the right of the image. This preserves the proportions of the original material, but at a cost of wasting a large portion of the 16:9 display. The second method is involves horizontally stretching the full screen material to fill the 16:9 display. This method distorts the proportions of the original content.

Although high-definition television has made 4:3 aspect ratio displays less and less common, conversion of widescreen film into full screen 4:3 aspect digital formats is another important problem. There are typically two methods used. The first is called cropping, and it consists simply of chopping off the left and right sides of the widescreen frame to make a full screen view centered in the middle of the widescreen frame. The problem with cropping is that often the edges of the widescreen frame show action that is important to the film.

The first problem is that some popular container formats do not support the required PAR pixel aspect indicator flags. Two obvious examples are AVI and DV Stream. When video is stored into these containers, only the frame size may be specified (giving the SAR). The PAR cannot be stored. Players and editors therefore have to guess as to what the correct PAR is to get the right DAR aspect ratio.

The second problme is that even if a container format supports PAR indicator flags, they may be incorrectly specified. There may also be several different indicator flags with inconsistent values. Players and editors therefore may or may not get the correct PAR and DAR aspect ratios.

As an example of this last problem, consider QuickTime which supports true PAR flags (known as "pasp" data), but also supports alterate means of specifying the DAR using the "track matrix" as well as a specific "16x9" aspect flag for DV compression. The following table shows how various QuickTime players and editors behave with these flags.

In general, to convert anamorphic video into video with square pixels you render the video into a horizontally stretched or squeezed form that matches the expected display aspect ratio. This makes DAR = SAR so that the PAR becomes 1:1.

For anamorphic standard definition video, the frame size will typically be either 720x576 (for PAL) or 720x480 (for NTSC). To convert these into widescreen 16:9 non-anamorphic square pixel formats, we stretch them horizontally until the SAR becomes a 16:9 aspect ratio. For 720x576, the video will be rendered to 1024x576 with the horizontal size stretched by a factor of 1024/720 = 64/45. For 720x480, the video would normally be rendered to 853x720 with the horizontal size stretched by a factor of 853/720. Since 853 is odd and this stretch factor is a complicated irreducible fraction, a close approximation is to use a display frame size of 864x480 and stretch horizontally instead by a factor of 864/720 = 6/5. To convert to a 4:3 full screen aspect ratio, the video would be rendered to a 768x576 or 640x480 frame size by stretching or squeezing the image horizontally.

If you are planning to eventually display the video on a TV by creating a DVD or a Blu-ray disc, it is best to maintain the video in anamorphic form throughout the editing process. Use a container format such as QuickTime that supports metadata to specify the correct pixel aspect PAR value. When importing the video into your editing software, make sure to set up your project to specify the correct display aspect ratio that matches your video.

If you are planning to eventually display the video on a computer or portable device or post it on the web, then we recommend converting the video into non-anamorphic square pixel form such that the PAR pixel aspect is 1:1. This is because computers, devices, and web players almost universally expect video to be non-anamorphic with square pixels. As much as possible, try to render the video into a frame size with a horizontal size in pixels that is divisible by 16 or 32. This will ensure optimal results for any compression you may do on your video, since nearly all video compression codecs will pad video to ensure a horizontal size that is divisible by 16 or 32.

Enter a desired width for a 16:9 HD size video to get the width and height needed to maintain the aspect ratio when resizing your original video. Japan"s Hi-Vision originally started with a 5:3 ratio but converted when the international standards group introduced a wider ratio of 16 to 9. But what is 16:9 aspect ratio, where did it come from, and how did it become the new default? Also known as 1.77:1/1.78:1, this aspect ratio was developed in the 1980s and ‘90s. It has replaced the fullscreen 4:3 aspect ratio. Under "Appearance and Personalization", click "Adjust screen resolution" 3. This means many movies originally shot for 1.85 can be “opened up” when being presented on a 4:3 or 16:9 display, so that there is no letterboxing, which also means getting a little bit more visual information at the top and bottom of the frame. More than 10 years ago in the world, this ratio became the common standard for television. [7] By using the same aspect ratio for both TVs and monitors, manufacturing can be streamlined and research costs reduced by not requiring two separate sets of equipment, and since a 16:9 is narrower than a 16:10 panel of the same length, more panels can be created per sheet of glass. While it began as a compromise, the 16x9 aspect ratio would soon dominate our high-definition landscape, with HD TVs becoming more and more popular in the mid-2000s. The 2.35:1 is the aspect ratio of the actual visible picture but a black bar is encoded into the picture at top & bottom to make the final picture size 16:9. Our 16×9 monitors are an ideal match for 1920×1080 aspect ratio cameras and 16:9 resolutions from other devices. *channels that are squeezed/letterboxed to 4:3 on analog terrestrial transmissions nor no letterbox on widescreen-produced programs. 16:9 is the most common option and . When doing some video editing on a project it"s not just important to know which aspect ratio you"re gonna work in, but also at what resolution. [8][9][10], In 2011, Bennie Budler, product manager of IT products at Samsung South Africa, confirmed that monitors capable of 1920×1200 resolutions are not being manufactured anymore. Anamorphic DVD transfers store the information as 5:4 (PAL) or 3:2 (NTSC) square pixels, which is set to expand to either 16:9 or 4:3, which the television or video player handles. The 16:9 aspect ratio is used in film and television and is used to describe an image that is 16 units wide by 9 units long. And we of course can’t forget the influence video games had in making 16:9 resolutions the standard. The key is for your projector resolution to match your screen, and you will want a 16:9 screen for 1920 x 1080 resolution. HD versions are limited to pay TV services and digital terrestrial TV in select regions. 4:3 Aspect Ratio. It is 78% wider than it is tall, and fully one-third wider than a 4:3 screen.

It’s hard to say what can top it, but for now, it serves as the true compromise SMPTE envisioned it to be. Dividing 1680 by 1050, gives a result of 1.6. Again, this may seem like a boring change. Unlike its counterpart, 4:3, 16:9’s origins do not directly come from filmmaking limitations or technology of the time. Content creators frame critical content or graphics to fit within the 1.33:1 raster space. The previous most common resolution was 1680×1050 (16:10).[12]. The aspect ratio for a 1920×1080 video resolution is 16:9, which is considered to be "widescreen". Please confirm your subscription to Verge Deals via the verification email we just sent you. They range from several 23in 1,920 x 1,080 models to a 27in screen of the same resolution - all 16:9 aspect ratios of course. Streaming platforms like Netflix will vary, as they tend to have more creative freedom and leeway. But traditionally, Windows laptops like these have been few and far between. Upload images to make storyboards and slideshows. This ratio was selected by engineers because it was the geometric mean between 4:3, the standard resolution that"s used on television, and 2:35, the ratio you would see in most movies. 16:9 (1.77:1) (said as sixteen by nine or sixteen to nine) is the international standard format of HDTV, non-HD digital television and analog widescreen television PALplus. While 16:9 is now a standard, it can sometimes be tricky to understand what uses the 16:9 format, besides television sets and computer monitors. Within this rectangle of a ratio, the 16:9 format allowed for ratios as square as 1.37 (also known as the 4:3 aspect ratio) and as wide as 2.39 (originally known as CinemaScope) to fit comfortably within its frame. The resolutions divisible by 8 are called true 16x9 resolutions. Please give us the option to use 16:9 (640 x 360 resolution if scaled from current 480 x 360) in our projects. What is resolution. DVD producers can also choose to show even wider ratios such as 1.85:1 and 2.4:1 within the 16:9 DVD frame by hard matting or adding black bars within the image itself. In other words, the 16:9 format was a future proofing ratio that could be implemented early before widespread adoption. 16:9 screens are cramped — at least compared to other options. Since 2009 the 16:9 format has been an international standard format for HDTV, widescreens tv, movies, and smartphones. Found inside – Page 240Wide XGA (WXGA) is a set of nonstandard resolutions derived from the XGA display standard by widening it to a wide screen aspect ratio. However, key to the point of this article is the middle man - a 24in . Conversely it is quite common to use a technique known as center-cutting, to approach the challenge of presenting material shot (typically 16:9) to both an HD and legacy 4:3 audience simultaneously without having to compromise image size for either audience. The same thing happens to 1.85:1 ratio, but the 1.85:1 is almost 16:9 and would play very good on a widescreen TV set. The higher it is, the better and sharper . "21:9" is a popular term and c The widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio offers a . Found inside – Page 413HDTV for example has an aspect ratio of 16:9 (1.778), while the "low" and "film-1.33" resolution presets are 4:3 (1.333). We may be seeing the end of 4:3 ... 16:9 aspect ratio stretched? While 16:9 (1.77:1) was initially selected as a compromise format, the subsequent popularity of HDTV broadcast has solidified 16:9 as perhaps the most common video aspect ratio in use. Therefore, the 1680x1050 computer resolution has an aspect ratio of 1.6:1 or 16:10. YouTube supports Full Screen and Landscape. Found inside3) ASPECT RATIO - 16:9 Widescreen OR 4:3 Standard The third setting option ... on the top row with 4:3 next to the resolution are Standard 4:3 resolutions. As you can see, for the same height, the width varies depending upon the aspect ratio. This is the standard flatscreen television aspect ratio, which is one of the reasons that it is so popular. These are some of the biggest laptops announced at the show that are offering non-16:9 display options: That doesn’t mean there are no 16:9 displays left — plenty of laptops still use it, and probably will for the foreseeable future. Not all displayed images are 16:9 or 4:3. So examples of 16:9 displays would be 16 inches wide by 9 inches high, 32 widgets wide by 18 widgets high, and 1920 pixels wide by . After all, movies still have their strict aspect ratios that are still the standard in both filmmaking and distribution to theaters. A common ratio for online video is 16:9. Not unlike what Vittorio Storaro was trying to do with the 2:1 aspect ratio, 16:9 was meant to be the perfect aspect ratio that could accommodate the various ratios already in existence. Moreover, a 16:9 aspect ratio is very versatile as it can decently display both 4:3 and 21:9 content. The aspect ratios you"ll typically see on laptops are 16:9, 3:2, 16:10 (which, for whatever reason, is called 16:10 rather than 8:5), and (occasionally) 4:3. In an effort to enhance the knowledge of the video-making community, I have compiled a list of all true 16:9 video resolutions, including their associated standard when applicable, as well as when the resolution is divisible by 8, which is useful for limited video encoders. Before getting into the intricacies of 16:9 resolutions, where it came from, and why it’s used, we want to provide a nice and easy definition. 2. OpenMW has native 16:9 support as well as antialiasing, dynamic shadows, etc. He essentially concluded that it was the best option for the future of high-definition displays. What is a Post Credit Scene — The Movie Stinger Beyond Marvel, Best Light Meter — Top 8 Ranked for Photography, Film & Video.
