    Hey,

    I just tried running TFT on my W3J ... and I have it at the highest resolution/etc, but it doesn't take up the full screen. I know the game doesn't have a native widescreen resolution, but I was hoping it'd just stretch it out?

    I used to play TFT on my 23" widescreen LCD, and it'd stretch it to fit the whole screen. When I play on the W3J it's just a tiny square with huuuuuuge black borders on the sides.

    Help? :(

    There is a setting to have it fit the screen without stretching, as when I had my Z70va, it had bars, but I did something - which I can not recall right now - and then it fit the whole screen, gave me plenty of extra room to detect ganks in DotA ;)

    I'm using Omega drivers so it might be a bit different for you.
    Anyway follow these instructions to make ur image to scale across the LCD panel size.

    Right click on desktop and select "Properties".
    In the "Settings" tab, click on "Advanced".
    Select the "Displays" tab, and click on the "Panel" button.
    Tick the box "Scale image to panel size", and press "Ok"

    This should solve your problem.
    However imo, playing a game without stretch (resolution pixel by panel pixel) will give the best and shaprest image quality without any blurr. ;)
