    21:9 ultra wide monitor support

    Just recently got a new monitor that is at a 21:9 aspect ratio. Alot of the movies on Vudu are in that aspect yet they don't scale to the full screen when playing. If there is a workaround for this.. anyone know? It would be great to see these movies full screen.. for example the new Xmen and train your dragon 2. When playing these they are in the 21:9 aspect but have black bars on the sides and bottom and top. thanks for any help

    Have you tried the video format settings on your TV? Most HDTVs (and I'd imagine especially a 21:9 one) let you change the format (zoom, full, letterbox, etc). You'd probably want to try some sort of "zoom" setting.

      I've run into the same problem on a new LG 34UM67 display connected to my computer. The display resolution is 2560x1080, but all the Vudu widescreen videos end up not stretching to fill the entire viewing area. It looks like this (sorry this is a huge image, but it's the only way to show what happens):



      So here I am with a 34" ultrawide display, but Vudu movies are only filling about two thirds of the screen space. It sucks, and there's no fix I've found yet. If anyone has a solution, please post. Ideally, Vudu would add some sort of support for other display formats, but since it appears the original HDX content is actually at 1920x1080 with black bars on top and bottom, I'm not sure what they can do.

        There are multiple options. Zoom should be available from both the panel or the PC.

        There are also multiple problems. Like when 16:9 DVD first came out. We had things like 16:9 movies but they were in a 4:3 signal and you wanted to watch on a 16:9 display. The material and display were 16:9 but it was in a 4:3 signal.

        Now you might have 21:9 material and a 21:9 display but it's in a 16:9 signal.

        The stock zoom, stretch, fill might not work too well in these situations. The more expensive displays or advanced PC problems can sometimes have manual control to get it where you want it. But with Vudu on a PC you've got to deal with a web browser instead of a blu-ray playpack program with advanced scaling options.

        Then you have the problem that even though you might have proper zooming you are zooming in on pixels and while it might fill the screen it's going to look pixelated.

        For playback I prefer to default to what the signal is your viewing. IE even though you might want to watch 90% of 21:9 programming the signal is 16:9 90% of the time so just use a 16:9 display and watch 21:9 films (from a 16:9 source).

        Otherwise you are compromising picture quality.

        Less processing is a good thing.
