Aspect Ratio

A display ratio that accounts for the width versus the height of a projected or transmitted signal. The ratio can either be against 1 or another number; for instance, 16:9 and 1.77:1 are the same aspect ratio, but the term 16:9 has gained more popularity with those buying HDTV flat panel monitors.
