The difference is that whilst D1 has a 4:3 aspect ratio 960H has a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. The extra pixels are used to form the increased area to the sides of the D1 image. The pixel density of 960H is identical to standard D1 resolution so it does not give any improvement in image quality, merely a wider aspect ratio.
The lower cost of 16:9 computer displays was seen as a positive, along with their suitability for gaming and movies, as well as the convenience of having the same aspect ratio in different devices. [ 3 ] [ 9 ] On the other hand, there was criticism towards the lack of vertical screen real estate when compared to 16:10 displays of the same ...
The first popular widescreen ratio for computer displays was 16:10, and 16:9 has been the most common ratio since 2012. The display aspect ratio ( DAR ) is the aspect ratio of a display device and so the proportional relationship between the physical width and the height of the display .
The next lower standard resolution (for widescreen) before it is WSXGA+, which is 1680 × 1050 pixels (1,764,000 pixels, or 30.61% fewer than WUXGA); the next higher resolution widescreen is an unnamed 2304 × 1440 resolution (supported by the above GDM-FW900 and A7217A) and then the more common WQXGA, which has 2560 × 1600 pixels (4,096,000 ...

The terms Hor+, static (previously anamorphic), pixel-based, Vert-and stretch are widely used in gaming discussions to describe how different video games change field of view dependent on the aspect ratio of the rendering resolution. The terms were originally coined by members of the Widescreen Gaming Forum. [6]
Widescreen images are displayed within a set of aspect ratios (relationship of image width to height) used in film, television and computer screens. In film, a widescreen film is any film image with a width-to-height aspect ratio greater than 4:3 (1.33:1). For TV, the original screen ratio for broadcasts was in 4:3 (1.33:1).
This is better than letterbox, because there is more vertical height to the image, however some of the image is lost at the sides. Due to this, you'll find on a widescreen television reception (which requires a digital receiver and suitable television) that station logos and text appear to float near the middle of the screen, and not at the edge.
