What are the most common aspect ratios?
The most common aspect ratio for standard size format displays is the 4:3 aspect ratio. It is common for 17.0″ and 19.0″ displays to use a 5:4 aspect ratio. The 16:10 aspect ratio is the most popular aspect ratio for laptop and flat-screen monitors. Currently, the 16:9 aspect ratio is becoming more popular as LCD and Plasma TVs typically use this aspect ratio because it is the ideal viewing size for movies.
