What does “4×3” mean?
4×3 (AKA 4:3, 12:9, 12×9 or 1.33:1) is an aspect ratio used in traditional television broadcast. It means the image is four units wide by three units high. 4×3 was the standard ratio used in early cinematic film production. It is rumoured that theatrical widescreen ratios were developed in part as a response to television.

It defines its overall shape, and it is usually shown as W:H (W is the width and H is the height). The most common aspect ratio today is 16:9, which means that if the width is divided into 16 equal parts, the height of the TV or picture should be 9 parts.
What is full screen aspect ratio?
Full screen uses an aspect ratio of 4:3, which means that it is 1.33 times wider than it is high. The old CRT TVs are an example of the full screen format with its square screen. In contrast, widescreen TVs use an aspect ratio of 16:9 (1.77 wide compared to its height) or greater.
