2. Display aspect ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_aspect_ratio

   The display aspect ratio (or DAR) is the aspect ratio of a display device and so the proportional relationship between the physical width and the height of the display. It is expressed as two numbers separated by a colon ( x: y ), where x corresponds to the width and y to the height. Common aspect ratios for displays, past and present, include ...

   16:9 is a widescreen aspect ratio with a width of 16 units and height of 9 units. Once seen as exotic, [1] since 2009, it has become the most common aspect ratio for televisions and computer monitors, and is also the universal standard image format for the universal FHD (1920x1080p) format. 16:9 or "sixteen-nine" is the universal widescreen ...

   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.

8. Display resolution standards - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution_standards

   On CRTs, there was often a difference between the aspect ratio of the computer resolution and the aspect ratio of the display causing non-square pixels (e.g. 320 × 200 or 1280 × 1024 on a 4:3 display). The 4:3 aspect ratio was common in older television cathode ray tube (CRT) displays, which were not easily adaptable to a wider aspect ratio.

9. Display resolution - Wikipedia

   1080p progressive scan HDTV, which uses a 16:9 ratio. Some commentators also use display resolution to indicate a range of input formats that the display's input electronics will accept and often include formats greater than the screen's native grid size even though they have to be down-scaled to match the screen's parameters (e.g. accepting a 1920 × 1080 input on a display with a native 1366 ...
