Streched??
« on: April 03, 2009, 07:38:29 PM »
I just bought my 1st 22" wide screen monitor, but I'm having trouble using it for Aces High. In windows It all looks good, but when I open aces high everything is stretched for some reason. I did go into video setting and set it to widescreen, but it does not help.

Anyone know what to do?

This is at least close as I'm not sure what kind of video card you have.

Go into your video card control panal and turn off automatic scaleing.
Set desktop resolution to that recommended for your monitor.
Set AH to widescreen for your monitors resolution.

Done.

In the video settings check the box 'show all resolutions' and select the native resolution your monitor uses, most likely it's 1680x1050. If you use a wrong resolution and your monitor is set to stretch the image to full screen your display will look horrible.

It's awesome now isn't it?   

Just about a month ago I went from a 17 inch analog lcd to a 22inch high def lcd and it's soooo much better.  I'm glad I upgraded it every time I fly.  Glad you got it worked out man, now enjoy!
