scanreg Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Just got a wide screen monitor (21.5 inch) and the images are stretched width-wise What would be the optimal screen resolution do you think? I'm experimenting with the various screen resolutions but I wish they had one that said "normal" so that square images appeared "square", everything appearing as they should, makes you wonder why they have all the different screen resolutions anyway For example, how can you make sure that a "square" is displayed correctly as a "square" and not a stretched image? If anyone knows which screen resolution (or ratio) makes things look normal, would be great, thanks At this point, it seems to be 1280 x 768 (ratio 1.66667), but it still seems to stretch a little wide Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/186527-normal-screen-resolution-wide-monitor-what-is-best/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 The optimal screen resolution is the monitor's native resolution. What exactly do you mean with "stretched"?

scanreg Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 stretched is where for example someone's face looks way to wide, like stretched taffy Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/186527-normal-screen-resolution-wide-monitor-what-is-best/#findComment-985090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 For the best resolution your should use your monitors native resolution. Check your monitors manual for this. What is the make/model of your monitor?

oni-kun Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Yeah, it should look fine on native resolution. Note on non-native, It will not retain its clarity, it should look much sharper/more colour correct native.
