    I've plugged the s video out of my xps into a widescreen crt. However, the aspect ratio is off (I'm using it in dual view mode) and I can't see a way to correct it. Any suggestions?

    The nvidia panel doesn't seem to give the option of a 16:9 resolution. Am I looking in the wrong place?

    (apologies in advance if this is a stupid question)

    Have you tried just outputting to the tv to see if it makes a difference? Or changing the ratio on the television, a screenshot of the options may help
