I have a question about the term '4:3 in wide'. On my LG 23" monitor, which is 1920 x 1080, there's a 4:3 in wide function and mine is set to wide. This fills the whole screen. Is that true 16:9 aspect ratio? Been using it like this for a couple of years and all looks normal to me, very sharp, no stretching. Here's a screenshot from the manual.
The reason I ask is because I have a couple of old games which have no resolution options, and on my 1366 x 768 laptop there is a black border either side of the game screen. On my desktop LG monitor, because of the 4:3 wide, there's no black borders with the same games, unless I click the 4:3 option again to make it 4:3. While it gives a slightly stretched look to those games, I don't mind as it fills the screen.
Now if using 4:3 wide is true widescreen, then why isn't the game screen stretched on my laptop, as I assume my laptop is using 16:9 aspect ratio? I hope I'm making sense.
