1:1 Pixel Mapping (nvidia control panel) Dell E228WFP 22

Hi,

how do you enable pixel mapping on the Nvdia control panel?

I have a new Dell E228WFP 22" Widescreen and want to play some old games at unsupported resolutions eg: 1280 x 1024 but without stretching the screen.

Does my monitor actually support pixel mapping?

Cheers.

i think you just have to run it at the highest resolution your monitor supports for the image to not appeared stretched

thanks, but I've heard that you can enable pixel mapping that sorts it out but with borders

IceShock · 28 Apr 2007 at 17:46

hmm, does your monitor have any buttons on it like a menu to alter boarder width?

not that I can see.

i have an e228wfp as well. i cant get scaling to work my with gtx but i haven't tried the latest drivers. the tft itself does not have any provision for 1:1 mapping. so if its going to be done it has to be done by the card. im just about to try the new drivers

ok let me know what you come up with!

Cheers.

oh ive just looked at the release notes for the 158.19's and scaling still doesnt work for flat panel widescreens yet. blast.

oh well keep trying

why can't graphics cards have a setting to just draw a big black border round every frame? rubbish.

Don't all panels automatically stretch the resolution anyway?

yeah, thats the problem lol

the option is in the Nivida driver software, but not sure if it works on the E228WFP or not (sounds like perhaps it doesnt). Have a look in settings > Sscreen resolutions & refresh rates section > "advanced timing" > display adapter scaling options

Centred Output and fixed aspect scaling have been broken in some of the latest driver releases. Try 100.87 it works fine with my FPW 3007
