Posted September 1, 2013 Some movies that I watch on my computer have black strips on top and bottom, and some dont. Why is this? I'm running a 24" Asus 1080p (1920X1080) monitor...

Posted September 1, 2013 say again please @coen113 i didn't understand a different aspect ratio, not your native one. that is compensated for by bars, so you dont get streched images Intel 3570k 3,4@4,5 1,12v Scythe Mugen 3 gigabyte 770 MSi z77a GD55 corsair vengeance 8 gb corsair CX600M Bitfenix Outlaw 4 casefans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 6, 2013 A lot of movies are presented in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio and most monitors are 16:9 aspect ratio (or 1.78:1) and so the reason you would see black bars would be because the movie you are watching is presented in a different aspect ratio than what your monitor is which is 16:9 (or 1.78:1). I realise somebody already answered this but I'm just trying to make it a bit clearer. ON A 7 MONTH BREAK FROM THESE LTT FORUMS. WILL BE BACK ON NOVEMBER 5th.
