re: laptop monitor setting leaves black space around screen! Monday, June 9, 2003 at 10:26 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ricer46 (20466 messages posted) Native Resolution has everything to do with the original thread. If the Native Res is used and the game is programmed for 640x480, you get the black border with the small display. If you force it to full screen, the display looks fuzzy and generally just ugly. That's what all of these articles are stating. I did not make it up, nor exaggerate the problem. Now if the Native Resolution of your display is 1280x1024, you can probably get a good image, since no interpolation is required , 640x480 doubled is 1280x960, which I guess would leave two small bands of black32 pixels high at the top and bottom. But if the Native Resolution is 1024x768, there is simply no way to make 640x480 look good on an LCD. On Monday, June 9, 2003 at 9:15 pm, jagged ben wrote: >What's the point of this now?
