Changing 21:9 to 16:9 to 4:3

[abracaslav]

Hi I have a 21:9 monitor but I was wondering if I could change it to 16:9 with black bars on the side and then stretch it to 4:3

I added a picture to kinda show what i mean

Just change your games resolution to the 4:3 ratio

 

I might be misinterpreting what you're asking

I guess you could try to do that by setting a custom resolution in Radeon Settings or NVIDIA control panel.

Then do what @Nocte said and set a custom resolution and use your program in 4:3

So to put it in resolutions, you want to take a let's say 1280x1024 image and stretch it to 1920x1080?

But like, your game or desktop?

Well that will depend on a few things.

Either the application can do the stretching so it basically spits out a stretched image, but afaik you can't force such thing OS-wide.

If you do send a 4:3 image to the monitor, it will depend on the scaler in the monitor what will happen with it.
