What is the 4:3 Aspect Ratio?

The 4:3 aspect ratio, also known as "standard" or "fullscreen," was the traditional format for older televisions and computer monitors. This ratio means that for every 4 units of width, there are 3 units of height.

It was the dominant format before the widespread adoption of widescreen displays and is still used in some professional video applications and retro gaming.
