SettingS in my CCC

RickC Sniper · 03-29-11, 03:22 PM

Frau, oddly enough I don't even need the program.

Last night I lowered my desktop rez and put a tick in that "maintain aspect ratio" setting in my CCC.

I launched the two older games I wanted to run in 4:3 format and they did that just as I wanted. I did not have time to play them so I reset my desktop to 1680x1050 (native for my Samsung) and shut my pc down for the night.

Today, both of those games run in a 4:3 format as if they remembered their last settings. They are doing this in spite of my desktop being set at 1680x1050 and those settings in my CCC being grayed out.
An odd, but pleasant surprise. Again, thanks for the help.

Interesting... it's been a while but it seemed like the only thing that worked for me was using Display Changer.

OTOH I have an HDTV in the same room hooked up as a second display, and as I remember that complicated things somewhat when I was trying to get it sorted out.

Anyway - glad you got it working the way you wanted!

You have the same option in your monitors onscreen setup menu (OSD). Probably set there.

I prefer non-scaling for the sharpest image. Only have to live with the black borders then...

Someone else with a Samsung monitor (which I also have) mentioned just using the monitor's settings in one of the Win7 thread, but for the life of me I couldn't find anything in mine that did the trick.

OSD Menu -> Setup -> Image Size ->

Auto - The screen is displayed in accordance with the screen aspect ratio of the input signals.
Wide - A full screen is displayed regardless of the screen aspect ratio of the input signals

My Philips have Wide, 4:3, 16:9 and 1:1... took a while to figure out...

Yeah, that's what I remember, but it seemed like neither setting made any difference.
