How to select an Aspect mode on a Amazon Fire TV.

Aspect ratio on a television refers to the ratio of the screen's width to its height, expressed as two numbers like 16:9 or 4:3. The 16:9 aspect ratio, common on most modern TVs, creates a widescreen format ideal for high-definition content, providing a cinematic experience. In contrast, the older 4:3 aspect ratio results in a squarer display, which may cause black bars on the sides when viewing widescreen content. Understanding aspect ratio ensures that content is displayed correctly without distortion, preserving the intended viewing experience.

If you notice black bars on the sides or top and bottom of your screen, adjusting the aspect ratio can help remove them. Changing the aspect ratio allows the content to fill the screen properly, eliminating the black bars and providing a more immersive viewing experience.
