[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1008219, member: 56379"] As you may or may not know...LCD screens have a "native" resolution where they look best. So it's this resolution where the text looks it's sharpest...and everything is in correct proportion. So if you're using an older LCD screen with a 4:3 ratio screen...or any LCD screen...there is really only one resolution that looks best...and of course this specific resolution depends on the size of the monitor (15, 17, 19, 22, 24, 30"). Also...I don't think that a 4:3 ratio monitor can be "forced" to display a 16:9 letterbox format....it will just "scale" everything up...and fill the screen like you already have experienced. If this answer should "qualify" for Paypal...not necessary!;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
