AFAIK, both PAL and NTSC have fixed aspect ratio's that cannot be changed.

4:3 will have a different horizontal resolution to 16:9 or 14:9mahjongg wrote:okay, i did not know that, resolution will stay the same though....
Thats why they sometimes call PAL "576i" because it has a fixed vertical resolution of 576 lines, and is interlaced.

No indeed it is not, and I really doubt, the PI will give out more pixels per line if a widescreen ratio is set up, or am I wrong?Burngate wrote: Whether the display spreads those pixels so they're in a rectangle with some simple relationship between its height and width is not determined by the PAL signal.
