 With the emergence of HDTV, there is often a mismatch between the signal received and the aspect ratio and native resolution of a display. A display’s aspect ratio is essentially the shape of the screen. Two common aspect ratios are 4:3 (universal for standard definition) and 16:9 (universal for high definition).
