I don't know about the math of it, but I just did some tests: On my LCD that won't work because I just get the top and bottom black bars at 1280 by 960. And my LCD can't be stretched vertically. I don't know about other LCDs, but certainly a CRT can be stretched any which way. Of course stretching the screen vertically will make people look thinner. Take a good look at a true circle on the screen. If it's not really round then you're stretching something. I just tested my display at 1280 by 1024 with screen filled, a circle in photoshop really looks round. At 1280 by 960, with the top and bottom black bars, the circle is still very round. I found no way to manually stretch the screen vertically to avoid the black bars but it would most certainly stretch the circle if it was possible. So I have to assume that 1280 by 1024 is correct for this screen ratio, as it fills the screen and produces a truly round circle. I don't think my screen is any different ratio than others. I don't see why a CRT would be any different though in showing a circle as round. -- Jim Davis, Owner, Eastern Beaver Company: http://easternbeaver.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits, Modulator Kits, Powerlet, Centech, Posi-Lock, Parts. 1988 K100RS SE ABS in Japan. 1991 ST1100 in America.
