Diagonal Screen Size (inches) 42

Aspect Ratio 16:9 (Widescreen)
cheap hotels in HaarlemThe term "aspect ratio" describes the relationship between the width and height of a TV or display screen. Traditional displays have an aspect ratio of 4:3, meaning that for every 4 inches of width, there are 3 inches of height. This results in a screen that looks almost like a square. Many newer displays have an aspect ratio of 16:9, so their screens are almost twice as wide as they are tall. Also referred to as "widescreen," 16:9 displays are better suited to widescreen DVDs and HDTV broadcasts. The term "aspect ratio" can also be used to describe the dimensions in which a film or TV program are shot. Traditional broadcasts are usually in 4:3 format, while HDTV broadcasts have an aspect ratio of 16:9.
