Lock aspect ratio with a CRT

[SonicIce]

How do I get the proper square pixels if I want say 1280x720 on a 4:3 CRT without it being stretch to fill the screen, and without having to adjust the monitor geometry? I have seen these options in Intel intergrated drivers, but cant find it for nvidia .

i'm not entirely sure why you would want that...

Just play the souce material in a media player with the res set at 1280x960, and you'll get native 1280x720 with the usual black bars...which will look identical to locked 1280x720

Well assuming you want that resolution for something other than movie-viewing, what's wrong with fiddling with the geometry a little bit? If you use nvidia's refresh rate override settings you can have different geometry settings for different resolutions/refresh rates.

The options you saw with Intel are probably for LCDs.

For CRTs using non 4:3 ratios you'll likely have to adjust the geometry.
