■ Screen options
Today there are various transmission formats with different size
ratios, eg. 4:3 , 14:9, 16:9 and video formats such as letterbox.
■ Auto
It automatically switches to the optimum screen mode according to
the WSS signal provided in the receiving signal source. If the signal
does not have it, the monitor keeps current screen mode.
✐ This setting may cause the picture to change when a different
format is received eg. when an advert is received.
✐ WSS (Wide screen signaling)
Some broadcasters transmit this signal and some VCR tapes have it
included . The signal identifies the picture format ratio (16:9, 14:9,
4:3 etc.).
If WSS is not being received and you are not happy with your picture
this monitor provides you the option to change it with the following
options.
Press the WIDE button repeatedly to select your desired setting.
✐ When in High Resolution (720p / 1080i) YPbPr or HDMI, the pic-
ture will remain fixed in 16:9 format 'Full size' and may not be
changed.
