Full Screen on Wide Screen?

[qw3rty]

I have a wide screen monitor. No matter what resolution I choose, the picture is stretched out to fill the entire screen.

How do I do full screen and keep the normal aspect ratio? I want there to be black bars on the sides and the normal 4x3 screen.

in the nvidia or ati control panel is a setting for Monitor scaling. this is what you need to adjust

Could you be more specific please, because I have a 5600 FX and I never found that in the control pannel

For NVIDIA with the Classic Control Panel, there are various scaling options in nView Display settings, then click on Device Settings, Device Adjustments.

they are also in the classic cp and New nvidia CP when using DVI connected displays as well i believe...

ok, I'm not in DVI, and what I am looking for is as simple as a "never stretch over a good video ratio" or something like that, because the idea to adjust the ratio everytime I am launching a program looks very boring

 

[squall_leonhart]

what kind of display do you have?

fujitsu/siemens L22-1W
nvidia FX 5600 128Mo

Just an idea : If I connect my display to the DVI port, Using an adapter, maybe the nvidia controll pannel will recognize it as a dvi display, and allow me to access to others specific settings...

 

[squall_leonhart]

no, its gotta be a digital display, as the scaling is done digitally. (probably why its called Digital Scaling :|)

Recognize as a VGA display of course, stupid idea...:blush:
