Videos displayed on a digital television are no longer constrained to the single size of the analog tube-based TV. You can adjust the picture size of the TV screen to accommodate a variety of different sized images -- for example, a widescreen DVD or a high-definition television signal. The procedure involves the remote control that comes with the digital television. You can also undo any changes made to the picture size later if you want.
