2. Aspect ratio (image) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(image)

   Common aspect ratios used in film and displays images. The common film aspect ratios used in cinemas are 1.85:1 and 2.40:1. [1] Two common videographic aspect ratios are 4:3 (1. 3:1), [a] the universal video format of the 20th century, and 16:9 (1. 7:1), universal for high-definition television and European digital television.

3. Widescreen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widescreen

   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). Largely between the 1990s and early 2000s, at varying paces in different countries, 16:9 (e.g. 1920x1080p 60p) widescreen displays came into increasingly common use by ...

4. Ultrawide formats - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrawide_formats

   The 64:27 aspect ratio is the logical extension of the existing video aspect ratios 4:3 and 16:9. It is the third power of 4:3, whereas 16:9 of widescreen HDTV is 4:3 squared. This allows electronic scalers and optical anamorphic lenses to use an easily implementable 4:3 (1.3 3 ) scaling factor.

5. Display resolution standards - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution_standards

   The 1280 × 1024 resolution is not the standard 4:3 aspect ratio, instead it is a 5:4 aspect ratio (1.25:1 instead of 1. 3:1). A standard 4:3 monitor using this resolution will have rectangular rather than square pixels, meaning that unless the software compensates for this the picture will be distorted, causing circles to appear elliptical.

6. Display size - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_size

   When the common aspect ratio shifted from 4:3 to 16:9, the new widescreens were labeled with a W in the US. A screen that is approximately the same height as a 27V would be a 32W. Vizio and other US TV manufacturers have introduced even wider screens with a 21:9 aspect ratio to match aspect ratios used in cinemas. To gauge the relative sizes of ...

7. Anamorphic widescreen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anamorphic_widescreen

   Many commercial films (especially epics – usually with the CinemaScope 2.35:1 optical sound or the older 4-track mag sound 2.55:1 aspect ratio) are recorded on standard 35 mm ~4:3 aspect ratio film, [a] using an anamorphic lens to horizontally compress all footage into a ~4:3 frame.
