To provide a video display device capable of displaying a vedeo having a different longitudinal and lateral (aspect) ratio in a natural shape.
As shown in (a), when an image display member 6 is in the state having a laterally long aspect ratio, an input from a connector connected with an AV player 11 becomes valid and an input from a connector connected with a portable telephone 12 becomes invalid. Therefore, a vedeo from the AV player 11 having a laterally long aspect ratio is inputted and is outputted on a display part 5. As shown in (b), when the image display member 6 is in the state having a longitudinally long aspect ratio, an input from a connector connected with the portable telephone 12 becomes valid and an input from a connector connected with the AV player 11 becomes invalid. Therefore, a vedeo from the portable telephone 12 having a longitudinally long aspect ratio is input and is output on the display part 5.
