If you're even remotely interested in Home Cinema you'll no doubt have come across the term Aspect Ratio, this is the ratio of image height to image width. Until recently all televisions were manufactured to conform to the 'standard' aspect ratio of 4:3, incidentally this ratio is also known as 'Academy Ratio'.
However, with the advent of Widescreen televisions there is a growing trend of screening programmes and films in their original aspect ratio. Many of you will be familiar with 'letterboxed' films, especially Home Cinema fans. There are many variations in aspect ratio as there are names for them... e.g. CinemaScope, PanaVision, WideScreen etc.
The most common ratios are...
| Screen Size | Aspect Ratio 4:3 | Aspect Ratio 1.85:1 | Aspect Ratio 2.35:1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14 in | 10.8*8 inches | 10.8*5.8 inches | 10.8*4.5 inches |
