How to get full screen on Full HD TV (1 Viewer)

[niels37]

Hi ,

When i play a 1080p or other hd material , i don''t get full screen on my full HD tv . Even with zoom function in MP no full screen, at the most an ugly stretched screen.

When i play dvd i get full screen!

I use SAF 6 for the codecs, which plays everthing till now ;-)

What am i doing wrong or do i have to change a certain setting ?.............if so can anyone assist me ?

Thx in advance!!

Can you give us a screenshot, as not sure what you mean by fullscreen (press F11 whilst playing video, picture saved in pictures\mediaportal, upload and attach to post using forum advanced +).

Remember most HD material has black bars top and bottom to keep aspect ratio, TV HD is different as usually 16:9

3 shots as requested. I know about the bars, BUT if the movie is hd en tv is hd , then i should have full screen without the bars right ? or am i so confused?

AW: How to get full screen on Full HD TV

The way it is on the screenshot is right, else you have to zoom. If you don't want these bars you need to buy a 21:9 TV (from Philips). =)

Holzi is technically right, but with most films I use 14:9 zoom as default for 21:9 movies, this is all done automatically by the "Intelligent Frame Control" plugin, give it a try

Also useful for 4:3 content.
