    Got a widescreen monitor and watching streaming video, the video shows "letterboxed" (i.e. black bars top and bottom) on a widescreen picture rather than filling screen....how do you change the settings for it? I've gone through the settings on the buttons on the monitor.

    No thats ok on those movies

    They are filmed in a different ratio to the 16:9 ratio of the widescreen set

    This is a picture that is 16:9 widescreen that would fill the screen on a telly
