Toshiba Satellite U845W-S410
This elegant-looking laptop targets movie buffs, but it’s not a good choice for productivity or gaming. The U845W ships with a 14.4-inch LCD panel whose native resolution of 1792 by 768 pixels translates to an unusual 21:9 aspect ratio—perfect for viewing widescreen movies without ***letterboxes***.

The effect of displaying a wide screen movie on a standard TV set the way it was originally shot in full panoramic format. On the TV, the image frame spans the full width of the screen, but because of the difference in aspect ratios of the two formats (wide screen movie vs. more square TV screen), the vertical height of the frame is reduced. The unused top and bottom areas of the screen appear as black bars.
Major motion pictures are shot with aspect ratios that are even wider than today's 16:9 wide screen TVs. As a result, the letterbox bars may still show, although not as thick as when displayed on a standard 4:3 screen (see aspect ratio for comparison). The term "letterbox" was coined because the wide frame resembles a letter envelope.

U845W随带14.4英寸液晶面板，原始分辨率为1792 x 768像素，这意味着它有21：9的宽高比，不同寻常——这很适合观赏宽屏电影，不会出现中间是电影画面，上下遮以黑条的信箱格式。
谢谢指正！
