Why does my view get squashed down to 4:3 aspect ratio when I select 'full screen' in games?

Hi there,

As per the title, I'm using a HDMI 2.1 cable with my MSI MEG 342C monitor, I switched it to HDMI yesterday evening after realising I could get 12bpc colour with HDMI and not with DisplayPort (which I was using previously). But whenever I select 'full screen' in game, it squashes the image down, to what I can only describe as a 4:3 aspect ratio. If I select 'windowed full screen' or 'windowed', it's fine and runs at the proper resolution and aspect ratio, though I always like to play games in full screen mode.

Any idea why this is happening, and how I can solve it please?

Thank you.
