On January 13, 2012, a Blu-ray version (screen ratio 16:9) was released in Germany.

The first wide-screen (screen ratio 1.66:1) ever installed in Great Britain was premiered on 14 May 1953, the film shown was Tonight We Sing.

The British debut of CinemaScope (screen ratio 2.55:1) following soon after on 19 November 1953 with the quasi-biblical epic, The Robe.

The front part of the device is a 9.7-inch retina screen with a resolution of 2048x1536, 4:3 screen ratio.

The 1080i format features 1080 lines (1440 pixels per line), interlaced, using non-square pixels to display a screen ratio of 16:9 (equivalent to 1920 x 1080).

The device's size and screen ratio is also a really good fit for reading e-books when it is held in portrait orientation.

The main benefit of this screen ratio is the absence of the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when viewing content in this format.

The Artist was filmed in thirty-five days, made in the 1.33:1 screen ratio commonly used in the silent film era.

The original screen ratio for television broadcasts was 4:3 (1.33:1).

By 1929, most movie studios had revamped this format using their own house aperture plate size to try to recreate the older screen ratio of 1.33:1.
