Planar M46L - Manual (Page 46)

Aspect Ratio Settings
36 m40L/m46L Installation & Configuration Guide
Note: The display is not capable of compressing the image in one direction while stretching
it in the other. For example, if you try to display an SXGA (1280 x 1024) on an m40L (1366 x
768) at Fill All, the display will letterbox the image and the following note will appear at the
bottom of the menu: “Can’t display - Change Scale Mode.” You can leave the scale mode at
Fill All or change it to Letterbox. You can also select Crop or One to One.
Note: The SCALE MODE menu icons change to indicate the effect each mode will have on
the picture based on the JUSTIFY and SCALE MODE settings, and the source resolution.

Fill All makes the picture fit top-to-bottom and left-to-right, regardless of how this stretches or compresses
the picture. Fill All distorts the picture, when the aspect ratio of the incoming picture is not the same as the
display.
Crop No distortion Crops width of

Crop expands non-native aspect ratio pictures until the second edges touch the border and lets the other
edges of the picture fall outside the display and get cropped.
