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
