Video Adjust menu
Unless otherwise indicated, these settings apply only to SD (standard definition) video at 480i and below.
Where “PC input” is indicated, the resolutions that apply are from 800 × 600 to 1920 × 1200.
Sharpness—Adjusts sharpness for video images.
Video Scaling—Sets video aspect ratios and scaling between Wide, Zoom, 1:1, and Panoramic modes.
PC input: Sets resolution aspect ratios and scaling between Wide, Zoom, and 1:1.
Wide mode stretches a standard broadcast or full-frame image to fill the entire
screen. Widescreen (1.76:1) images fill the entire screen without distortion, while
widescreen (1.85:1 and 2.35:1) images appear without distortion but with black
bars at the top and bottom. PC input: Stretches the image to fit the entire screen.
Zoom mode crops off a portion of a widescreen image in order to fill the entire
screen with a distortion-free and black bar-free image. PC input: Zooms the
image to fill the screen from top to bottom with black bars on the left and right
sides of the image.
1:1 mode preserves the movie’s original aspect ratio, so a standard broadcast or
full-frame movie appears with black bars on the left and right of the image. PC input:
Preserves the original aspect ratio of the resolution by using black bars on the left and
right sides and variable sizes of black bars on the top and bottom of the image
(depends on resolution).
Panoramic mode uses selective distortion to stretch a standard broadcast or
full-frame image to fill the entire screen. Unlike Wide mode, Panoramic mode
stretches only the left and right sides of the image, and leaves the center of the
image distortion free.
Overscan—A video signal is often displayed slightly cut off at all edges. If Overscan is turned off, you may
notice strange video anomalies on the edges of the video being displayed. This is normal and is part of
the data embedded in any video signal. To avoid seeing these anomalies, turn Overscan on.
