I have a solid white wall, but people have stated that silver screens work best. The farther back you are then the blurrier the picture, and the closer you are the sharper the image. The audio is extremely loud keep in mind that this to overcome the sound of the fan motor which is LOUD. Look, I am not going to lie to you this thing is not really great for anything but watching porn. The picture quality is too poor for enjoying real movies. This thing would be awesome if the company invested in higher quality parts.

If you use the remote and go to setting:picture:aspect ratio, you can choose from 16:9, full, or 4:3. It also has a few other options that appear greeted out because of my other settings, which are just scan, set by program, and cinema 1. It is not the brightest projector but is otherwise awesome. It is highly portable and I use it in small conference rooms with most of the lights off.

I use 16:9 ratio and cinema quality and I like these, also vivid color. It's all individual preferences. My answer is coming 4 years too late, uh oh.

Aspect ratio is 16:9. As Megan Tesman already stated, definitely worth every penny.

Amazon sent an info request and I looked at the monitor back and answered. Never gave it a thought. Tried to help. Forgot I returned that Samsung unit like yours with its 16/9 screen ratio. (to wide for height ) I bought Dell 16/10 ratio and love it. (U2412M) No negatives on the Samsung because I never even set it up. One look and back it went. Now, I get two pages almost 8 1/2 by 11 side by side and with 16/10 I like it better for photo work. The screen also rotates vertical.

I have a 120" screen, our couches are 14 feet from the screen at it looks really good. Also remember it will depend on your source. Broadcast TV will not look as good as a blu-ray or HD movie rip. Needless to say people are always amazed when they come over to watch a game.

I'm very new to this, but 4:3 would convert to 18x24, so that would need to be cropped.16x24 would be 3:2 ratio, which the G1 has.The 16:9 is just a crop at the sensor. @2mp off the top and 2mp off the bottom to make it appear wider. Overall, it should be about the same, but the advantage is in the composure itself.The 40D specs show the native ratio at 3:2. That would be at 10mp. The specs I found didn't show other aspect ratios available.The G1 at 3:2 ratio is 10.4mp by my calculations. vs: 12mp at full 4:3. At 16:9 it is @ 8.9mp. If the 40D could shoot at 16:9 it would likely be less.I'm pretty new to this, so I could be mistaken. But I think that's how it works.

You will need at least 8 to 10 inches for the feet of the screen. I currently use a table.

it's very usable and you can select for HD screen ratio 16:9 or standard 4:3. The .mov file will have to be converted to something else if you plan on using the video in Studio and mixing it with non .mov file editing. It's a still camera with great video at hand if you need it.

The iPad uses a 4:3 ratio, and currently commands about 85% of the tablet market. 4:3 is a more natural size for something like a tablet. It most closely resembles the look and feel of a book, magazine or piece of paper. A 16:9 display is difficult to hold in your hand, and makes for an uncomfortable device. It also makes rotation more alarming as you go from a very wide to very tall display. Many industry experts think the 16:9 ration is partially to blame for the almost universal poor sales numbers for the Android tablets.

I never opened the screen as it was tightly wrapped. I assume that it was of the same demensions as the screen I received with Pinnacle 14 about 6ft x 6ft. Agter a lot of reading on green screen an experimenation I have found that larger screens are needed along with good lighting. Look on Amazon for green screens and you will find some good set-ups. The screen you will receive will work for simple projects. George

It looks as good as a non-HDTV.From the few times I've looked at SD tv though, it doesn't utilize widescreen (It's still 4:3 rather than 16:9). So that's something you might want to think about.

For 8ft to 12ft viewing distance, definitely go with 52" if price isn't an issue. You won't regret it. I too was in the same boat, 9 ft viewing distance and went with the 52". Couldn't be happier. It was shockingly big at first but don't worry you'll get used to it. PS. only had 26" CRT prior to my 52A550.

In the settings menu there is the choice between 1024x768 or 1920x1080 for vga mode. also while the video is playing you can use the remote control to cycle the available video views. those choices are "default size". 4:3, 16:9, "fit view", and "video full screen". in my setup, i am using a 22" monitor that has a 16:10 ratio display. i use the vga in 1024x768 mode and for the video view cycled to "fit view".
