You can't just change the aspect ratio of your tv. The original aspect ratio will always be the same for your TV. However, you can choose to stretch the image to fit your TV screen, but it will become distorted.
Try using the `aspect' button on the TV remote to change to the 16:9 ratio. That'll save having to use zoom. The reason that the TV doesn't automatically switch to 16:9 is because the disk doesn't contain the necessary info to signal the TV to make the change in aspect ratios. And yes, plasma TV's can burn in., especially if you use the 4:3 aspect all the time.
HD television formats always use an aspect ratio of 16 : 9. For that reason, all HD televisions have that aspect ratio. A 12 : 9 (or 4 : 3) aspect ratio is only used with standard definition video signals so any 4 : 3 television will be a standard definition model only.
That is called the aspect ratio.
This a way to describe the width compared to the height of the picture. Standard TV is 4 by 3 and HDTV is 16 by 9, meaning the picture is wider than it is high. Movies are made in many different aspects but always wider than it is high.
The aspect ratio of a computer monitor or a television screen is its horizontal length divided by its vertical length, both measured in the same units.
IF your TV has an adjustable aspect radio, you'll find the "Aspect" button on your remote control. Some remotes have hidden compartments, usually under a little door where they put those controls that are rarely used. == ==

(For televisions) Aspect ratio is the ratio of the width of the television screen to the height. TVs do not have taper ratios. (For airplanes) Aspect ratio is a ratio of the wing span squared to the wing's reference area. This gives you a sense of how thin/slender a wing will appear from the top view of the aircraft. High aspect ratio means a long/extended wing. b² / S ("b" is wing span, "S" is wing area) Taper ratio is the ratio of the wingtip's length to the wing root's length. This gives you a sense of the angle the shape of the wing. High taper ratio means a triangular shaped wing. t/r ("t" is length of the wingtip, "r" is length of wing's root)
The typical width to height aspect ratio for a widescreen television is 4:3. It varies depending on the brand and overall size.
