    Normal mode frames the 4:3 video to the 16:9 picture area by displaying it in its original aspect ratio, with vertical gray or black bars on both sides of the screen. The disadvantage of this method is the fact that the image is small by virtue of not using the entire width of the screen. This is also known as the 4:3 mode.

  3. Optimum HDTV viewing distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimum_HDTV_viewing_distance

    If you are too close to the display when it is on, it can look as though you're viewing it through a screen door. [49] [53] Even with different HDTV display technology, such as front or rear projection DLP, LCoS or laser TV, the way HDTV images are rendered limits how close a viewer can be before the image's segmented nature becomes evident.

    The projector uses a bright beam of light and a lens system to project the image to a much larger size. A front-projection television uses a projector that is separate from the screen and the projector is placed in front of the screen. The setup of a rear-projection television is in some ways similar to that of a traditional television. The ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throw_(projector)

    In video projection terminology, throw is the distance between a video projector lens and the screen on which it shines. It is given as a ratio (called throw ratio), which describes the relationship between the distance to the screen and the width of the screen (assuming the image is to fill the screen fully).

  8. CRT projector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRT_projector

    Unlike LCD or DLP projectors, CRT projectors are more prone to burn-in, if set to relatively a high contrast value and/or displaying static content for extended periods of time. This can lead to issues in brightness uniformity on projectors that frequently use both a full 4:3 and widescreen aspect ratio, as well as a change in colour ...

  9. LCD projector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD_projector

    It is a modern equivalent of the slide projector or overhead projector. To display images, LCD (liquid-crystal display) projectors typically send light from a metal-halide lamp through a prism or series of dichroic filters that separates light to three polysilicon panels – one each for the red, green and blue components of the video signal ...
