Why is the ratio changed? - Blu-ray Forum

obriensg1 · 08-08-2007, 07:42 PM

I just hooked up my 20 inch Samsung widescreen as my computer monitor. When I had it only as a bedroom TV an anamorphic 1:78:1 DVD (for example CSI New York) fit perfectly in the screen, of course. Now I have the TV as a PC monitor. Any 1:78:1 AVI downloads I have or even the very same DVDs now play with small black bars on the top and bottom (inch or less). My desktop perfectly fits the screen. Why won't anamorphic shows do the same anymore?

im thinking ur computer is sending a different resolution than what was received via hd broadcast.

Go into your display control panel and choose the settings tab and adjust your resolution till it fits. 1920 by 1080 for example will fit better than 1920 by 1200 which is my current computer monitor setting
