CSGO 16:9 STRETCHED?

[Chandres]

So I normally play on a 120hz 16:9 1080p monitor. Ive always wanted to play CSGO on 4:3 and stretch it to 16:9 but I dont really like how it looks nor how it doesn't let me see my surronding really good. 16:9 has helped me see enemies on corners too many times. So I saw BenQ's  XR3501  which is a 144hz ultrawide monitor so I though to my self. Can I get 16:9 to stretch to 21:9 on an ultrawide monitor. I think that would give the competitive edge.

 

What do you guys think about this concept?

I think it might already have a 21:9 setting.

The point is not that its for stretching the image. If you play csgo then you might now that for example proplayers have 16:9 but set heir resolutions to 4:3 so that it stretches and enemies are easier to hit.

I don't think it stretches, I think it just has black bars.

 

Although that's just my experience with other source based games.

21:9 usually just gives black bars, then you have to set it to stretch the image on the monitor itself if it supports it. but personally I played CSGO on my 21:9 monitor while it was working (screen cracked) at 2560 x 1080 and people thought I was hacking because of my wide field of view, because I mostly awp I personally loved it, and I still see people clear enough to do easy AK / m4 headshots.

it depends on the monitor.

 

the 4:3->16:9 stretching is basicly the game running fullscreen at 4:3 (at lets say 1280x1024) and the display stretching that out to 1920x1080 to make use of all its pixels, or put black bars around it to keep the image pixel perfect.

 

my tv actually words this very well: "stretch"(being what OP refers to) or "dot-per-dot" (black bars)

I run an LG 21:9 Ultrawide (25" 75Hz)

 

1080P looks like garbage stretched so I play at 2560x1080. It makes the HUD huge for some reason. 

Works well though.
