My Sony Vega has Smart, 4:3, 14:9, Zoom and Wide settings. Many widescreen TVs can detect the aspect ratio of DVD and broadcast programme material and automatically choose the best compromise.
#Cinescope aspect ratio tv
However, it will be unacceptable on a 4:3 TV which will resort to showing the frame in letterbox format. This is acceptable because the distortion isn't too great. This is a process whereby the 2.35:1 or 1.85:1 frame is squeezed (distorted) to fit the 14:9 or 16:9 screen ratio of a widescreen TV. Obviously some of the potential resolution of the screen is wasted. The complete frame is displayed with black "bars" above and below. You therefore do not get to see the whole frame as the director intended but your TV screen is filled. This method involves a technician cropping a 2.35:1 or 1.85:1 film to the TV aspect ratio by ensuring that the part of the frame that contains essential action is retained and the rest is discarded. Displaying cinematic widescreen on TVsĬlearly neither 4:3, 14:9 or 16:9 TVs are ideally suited to displaying cinematic widescreen films. A similar lens fitted to a cinema projector un-squeezes them during projection to the 2.35:1 ratio. This aspect ratio involves filming with a special anamorphic lens fitted to the camera to squeeze the image horizontally onto the film. Anamorphic Scope, CinemaScope, Panovision) is not as old as 1.85:1. The original widescreen film format developed in the 1950s to help cinema compete with TV. Widescreen TVs typically have a screen aspect ration of 14:9 (1.56:1) or 16:9 (1.78:1) which is narrower than both cinematic widescreen standards (1.85:1, 2.35:1). The problem is that there a load of them. Widescreen refers to any aspect ratio wider than 4:3.
