Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a television apparatus which is provided with a video display means, having a first format display ratio (e.g., 4:3). SOLUTION: A video display means 18 can operate at a nominal vertical display height and at least at one vertical display height, which is smaller than the nominal vertical display height. A first video processor 56 combines video signals (VIDEOs 1 and 2), indicating at least two pictures and displays the pictures side by side. In this case, the pictures have a second format ratio (e.g. 2:3) respectively. Vertical height controls (86 and 88) reduce the nominal vertical display height to at least one vertical display height which is smaller than the nominal vertical display height, when the pictures are displayed side by side; and the pictures arranged side by side have respectively a third format display ratio (e.g., 2:1.875) between the first and second format display ratios.
