Sometimes by connecting devices (DVD player or Xbox) with your Emerson TV the display screen size changes. It can be too big that you can’t see the edges or too small that you see blank spaces at the sides. 

You can conveniently adjust the aspect ratio according to your TV screen size by pressing the format button on your remote.

The same thing can happen when a particular program runs on your TV. However, it is not always adjustable, as the video signals are formatted in a specific display size. You may also like to check how to reset Emerson TV.

How To Change Aspect Ratio On Emerson TV [Quick Ways]

With the help of your Emerson TV remote, you can change the Emerson TV picture settings. Below are the step-by-step instructions.

Press the Format/Screen Mode/Picture Size Button on Your Remote

There is a ‘Format’ button below the power button on your Emerson TV remote. If your remote doesn’t have it, it must have a ‘Screen Mode’ or ‘Picture Size’ button. All three buttons work in the same way.

When you press the button, it shows the currently enabled aspect mode display on your TV. With every press, the display changes, and you can select the best that fills your TV screen.

The aspect ratio choice depends on the channel you are watching and the signal source. You can change the aspect ratio anytime, as the choices cycle in a loop every time you press the button. 

Press the Menu Button on Your Remote

If your TV remote doesn’t have a Format/Screen Mode button, you can also change the aspect ratio by navigating Settings.

• Press the ‘Menu’ button
• On the Menu screen, scroll and find ‘Picture Settings’
• Select the ‘Picture Size’ that best fits your TV screen.

Note: For adjusting the aspect ratio, you need to have the original Emerson TV remote. Very few universal remotes offer you the function of changing picture size. 

Changing Aspect Ratio On Emerson TV without Remote

There is no way to change the aspect ratio on your Emerson TV without the original Emerson TV remote. However, you can use the virtual remote on your smartphone or tablet to change the settings. Download and install the WatchOn app on your mobile phone and navigate the setting to change the picture display mode.
