It is a HD Plasma Screen which has a pixel resolution of 1024x768 (4:3) but is physically a 16:9 ratio. Each plasma pixel is actually rectangular.
Windows then appears stretched horizontally as it thinks it is outputting to a 4:3 screen (which it is from a pixel perspective, just not from a physical one.) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Francois Piette Sent: 25 May 2005 13:48 To: Borland's Delphi Discussion List Subject: Re: Alter Windows image > Is there a way in Delphi to alter the image in Windows, before it goes > through to the Video Card.

So you have a screen (CRT, LCD,...) that has physically different height/width ratio than the resolution ratio ? Normally a computer screen has 4/3 ratio: au 15" diagonal is 12"x9" (4/3 ratio) and is 1024x768 pixels (4/3 ratio) or 800x600 pixels (4/3 ratio) and so on. What are your screen width and height (in inches and in pixels) ? To answer to your question, I'm not aware of any Delphi nor event software way to change the width or everything displayed. It's much an video card issue. -- Contribute to the SSL Effort.
