• Widescreen

Most TV channels now make and broadcast programmes in the 16:9 ratio format. If configured properly, your TV and set-top box should automatically display programmes in the correct picture size; either 16:9 or the older 4:3 format, though your TV remote should also allow you to manually select which format you prefer.
