A Way to Preserve Aspect Ratio?

The stretching effect is really bad with a widescreen notebook. Is there a way to force the correct aspect ratio, and just leave unused pixels black?
 
Who makes it? The Dell's have both a bios option and an option in the display properties section that allow you to turn off the auto resizing. You get black bars, but not stretching.

I think most notebooks have this, but my experience is with Dell, and you have to be careful to check both the display properties in windows and the bios options.
 
Are we talking aspect ratio or interpolation. If aspect ratio, just select a widescreen resolution.

Correct ones for 16:10 are...

1080x720? (Unsure of this one, something around there though)
1280x800
1440x900
1600x1050
1920x1200

Some newer games (very few) like Doom3 don't have widescreen resolutions available, if this bothers you then do what gimpyone said.
 
download BS Player

When you watch Movie/Video, hit the key "A" to selete between 4/3, 16/9, Amorphric, etc....

 
I have a new WXGA screen laptop - there is no stretching at all. It is normal XGA that is simply shorter than XGA. So, for vertical coverage one has to scroll more.

BTW - are you talking about movies or regular work display? If you have a wide-screen formatted movie - it is perfect. If not, your DVD player has that adjustment, and you will have black space on each side.
