YouTube 'Theatre Mode' not very large on 1440p monitor

Go to solution Solved by rattacko123,

I use a combination of youtube plus (to resize the player) + magic actions (dark theme). Seems to work very well with little lag compared to using scripts on tamper monkey or greasemonkey.

You can also use youtube center development build but it is very buggy at the moment.

I recently get a 1440p monitor to add to my current 1080p and 1050p monitors, and noticed that when I'm watching YouTube, Theatre Mode isn't very large, it's about the same size if not smaller than the normal view.

 

Anyone know of a solution to this other than zooming in? (I don't want everything else on the page to be larger, just the video, and I don't want to watch in fullscreen)

 

On the subject of 1440p, it seems the Windows 8.1 Snipping Tool refuses to make rectangular snips when I select more than around 75-80% of my 1440p monitor, it'll just go back to how it is when you start the program up where you have to tell it if you want to take a snip.

Get Chrome extension "AoT" ( always on top) and use that to watch youtube vids. Resize window as you see fit.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

hello!

is it me you're looking for?

Spoiler

Desktop: X99-PC

CPU: i7 5820k

Mobo: X99 Deluxe

Cooler: Dark Rock Pro 3

RAM: 32GB DDR4
GPU: GTX 1080

Storage: 1TB 850 Evo, 1TB HDD, bunch of external hard drives
PSU: EVGA G2 750w

Peripherals: Logitech G502, Ducky One 711

Audio: Xonar U7, O2 amplifier (RIP), HD6XX

Monitors: 4k 24" Dell monitor, 1080p 24" Asus monitor

 

Laptop:

-Overkill Dell XPS

Fully maxed out early 2017 Dell XPS 15, GTX 1050 4GB, 7700HQ, 1TB nvme SSD, 32GB RAM, 4k display. 97Whr battery :x 
Dell was having a $600 off sale for the fully specced out model, so I decided to get it :P

 

-Crapbook

Fully specced out early 2013 Macbook "pro" with gt 650m and constant 105c temperature on the CPU (GPU is 80-90C) when doing anything intensive...

A 2013 laptop with a regular sized battery still has better battery life than a 2017 laptop with a massive battery! I think this is a testament to apple's ability at making laptops, or maybe how little CPU technology has improved even 4+ years later (at least, until the recent introduction of 15W 4 core CPUs). Anyway, I'm never going to get a 35W CPU laptop again unless battery technology becomes ~5x better than as it is in 2018.

Apple knows how to make proper consumer-grade laptops (they don't know how to make pro laptops though). I guess this mostly software power efficiency related, but getting a mac makes perfect sense if you want a portable/powerful laptop that can do anything you want it to with great battery life.

I have the same problem, just use print screen instead and paste into microsoft paint. Note that if you have 2 or more screens you may capture more than you bargained for xD

Yeah, having three screens makes it a real fun time..
