SHIII wide aspect screen monitor - how2fix?

Kpt. Lehmann · 04-25-07, 05:02 PM

Danlisa is right, and knows I've gone through that pain as well.

To make the story really short... I sold my brand new 19" widescreen LCD and went with a 19" full screen LCD.

My advice to PC gamers who intend to run games older than one year:

Get a full screen monitor fast. The industry is moving away from them fast.

what do you mean when you say "full screen" I was going to get a wide screen monitor and now you've really put me off,do you mean old style LCD monitor and keep a wide screen LCD for other applications

Strange. I have a 22" Wide Screen LCD and dont have that problem. If you had configuration software for your LCD/Graphics card, maybe run that to see if it will fix the aspect ratio for you. I run GWX SHIII and have played SHIII stock aswell and both fit perfectly on the widescreen format.

I don't notice any problem with my widescreen LCD. There are two things I have set. One is with the video card which I have the image scaling set to "Scale to Full Panel Size" and the other is with the settings in my monitor which I have the scaling set to "Fill".

It works, at least on some screens. By the looks of it its also dependant on the graphics card. My card had a display setup when I installed it to set the output to 22" Wide screen format. Maybe it depends on the type of output? My card runs through erm...DVI format straight to the screen.

That may well be the case. Some of the options described above simply weren't available to me.

Sounds quite promising given the right setup.
