SOUNDS LIKE A TASK FOR MONITOR MAN


Oh, LCD.

It'll be scaling it in 4:3. Not sure if you can do that in OSD or what. Try

r_mode -1
r_customwidth 960
r_custom height 600
vid_restart

Geforce 8800gts I think..

found this: http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/5251/dickv.jpg

I think that could do it? but everytime I try to change it, it goes back to display-built in stuff..

try do not scale. But the resolution in my first post (960x600) will work better on widescreen! :)

your drivers are fucked up if its already on use built in display option , its the nvidia fixed aspect ratio that makes it have black bars, so fuck knows how your getting black bars without using that option ? lol weird.

You need to change the nvidia scaling option in your graphics drivers. You need to change the the option from "nvidia fixed aspect ratio" to one of the other options either "use monitors built in scaling" or"do not scale". The "nvidia fixed aspect ratio" option is whats causing the black bars at the sides so change that and your good to go!. Think the option to change it is under adjust desktop size or something like that its called in your nvidia drivers control panel.

yea but I have it at the built-in option and I guess it could work with NVIDIA scaling.. but I can't change it. Everytime I try and click "apply", it just changes back to built-in stuff..

seems like your drivers are a bit fucked up for some reason.

Im not sure but i think some lg monitors have the fixed aspect ratio built into them, try using the buttons on the monitor itself and look for a option to change the aspect ratio?
