Depending on the filmmaker, movies can be recorded with an even wider aspect ratio - 1.85:1 and 2.35:1 are fairly common ratios. Although the term wide-screen is commonly associated with a 16:9 aspect ratio, true 16:9 as it relates to film has a 1.78:1 aspect ratio. As with standard TVs, this has to do with the way the displayed video was recorded or is being broadcast. It is still possible to see black bars at the top and bottom of the picture if you have an HDTV with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Therefore, since the width of the movie is wider than its height, black bars are seen at the top and bottom of the screen. To fit the entire picture of a wide-screen movie on a 4:3 TV and maintain the proper dimensions, the size of the movie is reduced. This means that the width of the movie may be longer than the width of your 4:3 TV screen. Theatrical movies are commonly recorded and broadcast in the same aspect ratio as they were seen in the theater, which is typically wide-screen. If you have a standard TV with a 4:3 aspect ratio, this is because the video was recorded or is being broadcast in a wide-screen, 16:9 aspect ratio. This is much wider than older TVs that were 4:3 or 1.33:1. Current model LCD or LED TVs have an aspect ratio of 16:9 or 1.78:1. All TVs have an aspect ratio (The ratio of the width to the height of an image or screen).
