Selecting	Aspect	Ratio	[ASPECT	RATIO]
The	term	“aspect	ratio” 	refers	to	the	ratio	of	width	to	height	of	a	projected	image.
The	projector	automatically	determines	the	incoming	signal	and	displays	it	in	its	appropriate	aspect	ratio.
•	This	table	shows	typical	resolutions	and	aspect	ratios	that	most	computers	support.
