SiegeLord said: I know some drivers allow for adding of black bars on the sides to support such games, but I checked and it's not an option in the driver version I'm using (as far as I can tell). I can't stand those bars on the sides. On top, like in movies, it's ok, you have it in cinemas as well. But those vertical ones are not. Probably even worse is if the game engine cannot handle the aspect ratio correctly. [My website][CppReference][Pixelate][Allegators worldwide][Who's online] |

My monitor has a very simple setting for that problem. I can set it to scale everything full screen, or to scale everything to the maximum size preserving aspect ratio (I assume it assumes square pixels), or to display everything 1:1. No driver support required. -- |

Well under my Vista desktop I just have a black solid color. Once in a while I put something else up. I'll put up my favorite wallpaper I found for my old monitor. Catch ridicule for this one: http://twitpic.com/8drccp "You may think I care about what you think of me..and you'd be wrong. I'm not on this planet to please you. I'm here to take care of my family. Outside of that, you might as well be pissing in the wind. You'll get a better return from that than you will from me." |

So far, however, I wasn't playing any game that would require the black bars. The main issue is that the bars aren't totally black, because black on the monitor simply isn't black, it glows.

Add curtains Now that I know that monitors themselves have this feature, I might get a widescreen monitor myself one day.

When the blank screensaver on mine is in a darkened room, it's obviously giving out light, but when there's something to see I don't notice the black glowing. I really admire the U.S. Constitution. It's so much better than what we have now. |

I've seen trees like that from caterpillars, are you sure those are spider webs? If eating hotdogs is wrong, I don't wanna be right. |

Yes... that pic was stolen from CGamesPlay's facebook wall I thought it was worms too at first. ___________________________________ |

I'm with Trent on that one. We have trees around here during summer that have chunks of the tree like that and it is just caterpillar silk not spiders. I don't have a single person from here on my FB page. Didn't think anyone here even bothered with it. "You may think I care about what you think of me..and you'd be wrong. I'm not on this planet to please you. I'm here to take care of my family. Outside of that, you might as well be pissing in the wind. You'll get a better return from that than you will from me." |

Trent it was Pakistan http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/01/spiderwebs-in-trees-pakistan-floods_n_843521.html Googled to double check it was spiders and not caterpillars.
