[QUOTE="Jetboy, post: 133654, member: 12428"] There are two options, as stated above: 1. Set your resolution to a 4:3 resolution like 1024x768 (PAL is 720x576). Set your tv to "wide" so it stretches the image and fills the screen. Then adjust the pixel ratio in MP and all other video players you use so you get the correct aspect ratio. 2. Set your resolution to a 16:9 resolution like 1024x576. If your graphics card cand handle that correctly (my GF5200 can) it will squeeze the image to an anamorphic one that your tv will display correctly using the "wide" setting. I prefer #2 since it gives you the correct ratio for everything that windows does, including desktop icons and all programs. #1 will give a stretched look to everything that doesn't have a built in pixel correction setting.
