SOURCE: getting 4:3 aspect ratio
The scaller circuitry in LCD monitors are not designed to display anything in 4:3 like a 16:9 TV will do, they are designed to fill the entire width of the screen. If you select a widescreen resolution in your display properties then your pixels will be square and images will not look stretched. The optimal resolution for your screen is 1680X1050. If you find that too stretched then you can pick something like 1280X768 but the image quality will not be optimal.
There is a chance that the video card in your Dimension 8300 is not compatible with widescreen resolutions. Determine the type by looking under graphics adapters in device manager then update the driver from Dell's website if you don't get any widescreen resolution in display properties.
If any of this sounds like giberish to you then just get me the type of video card in your system and I can help you determine if you are capable of widescreen.
If by chance your computer cannot display widescreen then I can point you to which video card upgrade would work.
LENS MEMORY means that
You can save and name the adjusted ZOOM/FOCUS,
H-AREA POSITION and V-AREA POSITION there is just 4 adjustment settings in
memory excluding ASPECT RATIO the aspect ratio depend on signal but you can change manually when needed.
possible ASPECT RATIO and SIGNALS
If VIDEO or S-VIDEO then
ASPECT RATIO

ZOOM2 \ JUST
AUTO \ 4:3 \ 16:9 \ JUST \ ZOOM
you can switch in between
If COMPUTER then

these are all type of signals and there possible aspect ratios
