The '''Screen''' menu in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' gives an in-game means of changing the widescreen settings of the [[Wii]] console to match the television being used. It is accessed via the Options menu from the main menu. By default, it inherits the setting enabled in the main Wii console options, though players can choose to override this setting. | The '''Screen''' menu in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Changing the screen ratio does not change the Wii's output resolution, which remains at 640×480, even on the default [[PAL]] setting of {{s|wikipedia|576i}} 50Hz; only the way the picture is rendered within that resolution is changed. As a result, [[snapshots]] captured on a widescreen-set console will appear in a 4:3 aspect ratio if decrypted and viewed on a PC. | Changing the screen ratio does not change the Wii's output resolution, which remains at 640×480, even on the default [[PAL]] setting of {{s|wikipedia|576i}} 50Hz; only the way the picture is rendered within that resolution is changed.

This feature was added due to a significant amount of the population still using CRT television screens with a 4:3 aspect ratio during the launch of ''Brawl''. While widescreen had been available for decades by that point, compatible screens were much more expensive and had inferior picture quality until much more recently. CRT sets had also grown a reputation for having extremely low [[display lag]] compared to its modern contemporaries, becoming a prefered method of playing retro games developed with that type of hardware in mind. | This feature was added due to a significant amount of the population still using CRT television screens with a 4:3 aspect ratio during the launch of ''Brawl''.
