[dba-Tech] Wide Screen

Rocky,

I know you probably know this, but the source would have to be in the 16:9
format to have square images.  Just like with a widescreen TV, to make a 4:3
video fill the screen, it has to stretch the image.

What exactly is stretched, the desktop and the windows?

Folks:

My new laptop has a nice wide screen.  However, the aspect ratio distorts
things - stretched them horizontally.  Squares look like rectangles.  I've
looked at the documentation but can't find anything about adjusting the
display so that squares are squares.  Anyone know anything about this?


TIA,
