Master monitor displaying reduced image width with black side bands in both 16:9 and 4:3 formats

20 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • When a monitor displays video content narrower than expected with black bands on the sides in both aspect ratios, the issue may originate from either the monitor itself or the source signal
  • Testing the video signal on a different monitor can help determine whether the problem is in the monitor or the video source
  • A traditional television repair technician experienced with synchronization problems may be able to diagnose and fix aspect ratio display issues in older broadcast monitors
  • Providing technical specifications like the HIROSE connector pinout to a repair technician can assist in troubleshooting

Depends on

  • The original problem was never confirmed as solved in the thread
  • The solution approach was suggested but not verified to work
  • The issue occurred with an older broadcast monitor model from around 2006
