AMD6415 is on a distinguished road

Default high def, only 16:9?

I have a 4:3 ratio TV that supports 480, 720, and 1080 but I noticed that with most things that that I have hooked up so far I have to change the ratio over to 16:9 or the picture gets streched out on anything over 720. So my question is are high def resolutions only 16:9 ratio? is there a way to get them to 4:3? thanks

Yeah. Sorry bud. HD signals are all 16x9.


edit: Oh, maybe there is a ratio option to change the aspect ratio? Check the manual...I've never heard of a 4:3 tv that supports HD.
