16:10 to 16:9

[Lneves]

Well, I have an Dell U2415 witch is an 16:10 monitor, I love it, but it has one problem, when you connect something that does not support 16:10 to it, insted of black bars,the monitor stretches the image to 16:10, and distort it a little. Ther is some kind of cable witch could help me putting black bars or something like that ? (it does not have to be an cable)

 

Thanks for the help.

There aren't any in-monitor settings that will prevent this from happening?

 

If I were at my brother's place, then I could have checked it out. But sadly, I'm not :c

No , the only aspect ratios available on the settings are 16:10, 4:3 and 5:4. Nothing about black bars...

Go into the monitor's OSD settings and check to see if there are any input settings that deal with scaling. It might be called "Dot by Dot" or "Native input" or other various terms.

 

If you find nothing, then unfortunately, you're out of luck. There's no magic cable that is going to "add" the black bars in while preserving the original signal.

After reading through the manual publicly available online I found that there was actually no possible way to change the scaling method other than the method you listed. I am sorry.
