Aspect ratio

The ratio of width to height. When an image is displayed on different screens, the aspect ratio must be kept the same to avoid 'stretching' in either the vertical or horizontal direction. Aspect ratios are typically 4:3 and 16:9 (or 16:10) for monitors and high-definition televisions (HDTV) respectively.
