16:9 Format: How can a 1024 x 768 screen be 16 x 9 format?

The pixels aren't square; they're 0.90 x 0.675 mm. So think of it as 921.6 by 518.4 mm which is 16x9.

The one I received is 1024x600. You can also check the resolution in Windows by right-clicking the desktop and going to "properties" or "personalize".

The video resolutions can be changed. The settings are: 640X480 (default), 800x600, 1024x768,1280x1024, 1600x1200

Yes. No problem adjusting to 1280 x 1024 (or most other settings your monitor is capable.

I have one and it only seems to output 16:9. I would like to change it to 4:3, but I don't see a way to control it. There are 2 buttons. One labeled "switch" that selects from the 3 available inputs (s-video, composite, hdmi) and another labeled "720/1080p" to select the output resolution.I don't see any communications port; so, I don't think the firmware can be altered, either... meh

The viewable resolution is 680 x 480, so you could always do that.The sample album pics are 688 x 488, but I would imagine that its a 4 pixel buffer around the edge.

16:9. It has full HD resolution, 1920 pixels wide x 1080 pixels tall. 1920/1080=1.78. 16/9=1.78.

Probably not worth it though, as you'd just be discarding pixels - it's got a standard 4:3 ratio, so rather just leave it in native mode. If you truly need 16:9 you'd have to drop significant lines of resolution top and bottom.

Actually... you can change the resolution to 1024 x 768 - Right click on the desktop.. go to Properties &gt; Settings Tab &gt; Click on Advanced - Click on the Monitor tab... and uncheck the box that says "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display." At that point you can change the resolution to 1024 x 768. You can move the mouse to the top and bottom extremes to scroll the desktop up and down. I had this same issue when trying to install Adobe Illustrator CS3. It required 1024 x 768 minimum. I made the change and was able to install the software. No need for an external monitor. Funny thing is... I can run Illustrator fine once it is installed in the standard 1024 x 600 resolution. Hope that helps. Mark

Nope bs 1600x900 res. I told them about it I bought two of these and both were not 1080p

Your computer's resolution is only limited by the video card and the current monitor. 1920 x 1080 is really just a standard HDTV resolution (16:9) but most all widescreen *computer* (monitor) resolutions are 16:10, so 1920 x 1200 is perfectly normal and since you already have a 1920 wide res to start with, the option to expand to 1920 x 1200 *should* show up as soon as the new monitor is connected and detected by the computer. If it does not, then you might indeed have to upgrade your video card IF you really want to use the max res. For example, my original resolution was 1024 x 768 (4:3) on my previous monitor. With the T260HD, I was able to change to 1600 x 1200 (also 4:3) which, on the T260HD, does have "black bars" on the side. I suspect it is simply because my video card is outdated that I cannot get the max res and so I should get one that definitely has widescreen capabilities, but it has not been that important lately so I've just not done it yet. I hope that helps! XD PS. Also, when you have the max res of a 16:10 screen, ie 1920 x 1200, you will always have "black bars" on the top and bottom of proper 1080 (or any 16:9) footage when displayed correctly. That can bother some ppl, so it depends on what you want to use the monitor for mainly, ie if you plan to watch a lot of shows on it or just for computer stuff. Altho of course, depending on your media player (on the comp) or when you are watching tv, you will also have the options to crop or zoom the picture which can fill the screen if you don't mind losing the edges as long as you can escape the "black bars". Just some food for thought ;P

Very interested in your method. I found that aspect ratio for original resolution is 4:3, which means that it will distort your image when the screen is 16:9. Do you experience the same problem when you use DVI to HDMI cable.

Yes. This is a 16 X 10 ratio rather than a 16 X 9. Standard TV's and most monitors are 1920 X 1080 pixels. This is 1920 X 1200 pixels.

Does YouTube have a requirement for the size? Is that why you are asking about 16:9?

From a 16' throw distance (from lens to screen) this projector can display a 16x9 aspect image 176" diagonal 93" high and 149" wide and 146" diagonal at 78" high and 124" wide when zoomed. The unit has a selector to go to any setting in between those settings. The dimensions I gave are for a 16:9 aspect ration screen (basic shape of new TVs.). There are web sites that have calculators to give you these answers. The one I use is from Projector Central. Google it, If I gave you the link, it would likely cause my response to be filtered.

you will need to go into your control panel and set it in the display . mine is set at 1600-x 1090 i have 3 monitors set up and you can only set what your monitor will go to in resolution i hope this helped

I have mine set to 1600 x 900 and it looks awesome! This is the recommended as well as the maximum resolution available.
