10.4 Aspect Ratio

Aspect ratio
Relation between the horizontal & vertical dimension in which the window will be displayed, e.g. 4 by 3 or 16 by 9. Can also be expressed as a decimal number, such as 1.77. The larger the ratio or decimal, the wider the image (or the less the image is squared).
What can be done?

The aspect ratio setting forces the projector to project an image using a defined aspect ratio.
