Aspect ratio is the relationship of the size of width of the diiplay to the length of the diplay.
16:9 (reads sixteen by nine) is wide screen 4:3 is full screen The type of monitor you are using, will determine the resolution settings.

That's 16:10 and will either be distorted or you will have black bars at the sides of the screen.

If you have 16:9 content running on 16:10 hardware or vice versa and if you have it scaled to fill the whole screen, it's hard to notice the distortion; as long as you're not running 4:3 content on either 16:9 or 16:10 hardware in full screen, it should be fine.
