MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2006Is PowerPoint updated to handle 16x9 HDTV screens?
We are updating our presentation equipment and need an understanding of how PowerPoint will address the large wide screen TV's. Any tips? This really isn't a function of PPT, it all depends upon your hardware. (Video card and drivers.)

Any tips? > We are updating our presentation equipment and need an understanding of how > PowerPoint will address the large wide screen TV's. Any tips? It doesn't, really. It displays on your computer's video display. It's up to the computer's hardware and Windows and the video driver to determine what gets fed to any external video displays like TVs. That said, see this: Make screenshow fill a wide screen display http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00566.htm It has more to do with wide-screen computer monitors but may be useful. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ To my knowledge Powerpoint / templates doesn't handle 16:9 display so you will get black bar on the left and right of the screen. I'm actually not sure if its possible to build a template that would use the whole 16:9 area for presentation...

It won't show that way on a computer monitor because the monitor isn't 16:9. But it will show as a full screen on a 16:9 screen. But if the screen you're projecting to is oh, say 16:11 (odd size only for purposes of illustration), then you're going to see black bars (letterboxing) at the top and bottom of the screen, sure.
