1440x1080 on 1080p monitor

Any one of you use this resolution on 1080p monitor? If so, how do you make it go fullscreen? Mine goes like this :S

Tried to change scaling options on Nvidia Control Panel but still couldn't get it to work.

BenQ G2220HD
Win7 x64

play around with the hardware buttons on your monitor, at the very least you will get blackbars like that and if lucky it might also stretch

Can't choose any other than Full with this resolution, can't even have black bars.

There are no Aspect Ratio related options? :/

Yeah there is the Display Mode option, which has "Full" and "Aspect" as options, but with that resolution, "Aspect" is greyed out and I can only choose full, which makes it go like that.

Aaaaand I thought BenQ was known for all their gimmicks :P Honestly if driver scaling doesn't help and hardware buttons don't do it for you either, I don't really know. Sowwy :( G2g to work now aswell but if something pops into my head I'll let you know.

Alright thanks, just as an information, the resolution works fine on CS:GO and CoD4 (just tested out them quickly, strecthes to screen just the way I'd like it to do with ET). So I'm guessing it's either OpenGL or Engine issue.

r_mode -1.. r_cumstomwidht 1440.. r_customheight 1080 in cfg?

Try going to NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL and setting up a custom resolution with 32 color bits and whatever Hz you use at the resolution you want then setting it ingame with:

r_customwidth 1440
r_customheight 1080
r_mode -1

then vid_restart

Already did that, still doesn't stretch to fullscreen.

1080p means 1920x1080 maybe you should just use that.. native resolution on LCD monitors is always better than other resolutions because LCDs don't actually switch resolutions like CRTs did.

The reason why I want 4:3 aspect ratio is that I can get more Hz out of my shitty monitor on those resolutions. Also I'd like to have a resolution that has native vertical resolution so that the image looks sharp even though it's stretched.

If your cfg isn't fucked, then your nVidia drivers definitely are.

I had something similar with my AMD drivers, I couldn't enable higher refresh rate than 60 at 1680x1050 resolution, I completely removed all my AMD drivers from the registry using Display Driver Uninstaller, reinstalled them and my problem was solved.

It gonna happen like that if havent u got this resolution in drivers, even if u have it and u dont change it from higherone to lower before running game with custom aspects, higher gonna stay on ur monitor.

SADLY ET doesnt support 16:9/10 ratio .. so even if you get it to 1080p it will look retarded
▼
Acizco 27 Sep 2014, 12:03
That's 4:3 resolution though.

Assuming in English that is "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings", it didn't work :(
