Cartoon Network HD is a high definition feed version of Cartoon Network that launched on October 15, 2007, and is available from cable and satellite service providers. Older 4:3 content is stretched to fill a 16:9 aspect ratio. This process results in a warped picture, which is especially apparent during horizontal panning. All programs produced in HD are aired letterboxed on the standard definition feed. Cartoon Network HD is also streamed live on Cartoon Network's website with the "Live TV" online service.

Famous quotes containing the words cartoon and/or network:
“this cartoon by Raphael for a tapestry for a Pope:”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
