Title: Wide Screen Monitor
Post by: Ramon on February 01, 2008, 07:14:25 PM

I have a wide screen monitor and the bottom and top of the screen seems to be cut off.  Is there a way to get the whole picture?  This makes it tough to read the gages.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Depending on your Video card, a lot can change the aspect ratio back to 4:3, but AH won't be widescreen anymore.  It will look like a regular 4:3 picture with nothing cut off, you'll just have black bars on the side of the screen.

Only photo I could find as an example of what it would look like.

Reset your AH vid resolution to 1280 x 1024 in Video set-up. This is only possible if your vid card will support that resolution.
