Screen cloning with different aspect ratios

[WeylandYutani]

It works but my TV obviously has the black bars on the top and bottom and I want to get rid of it,
I know it's possible because I've seen it in real not just in a video but that's some good while ago.

For some reason may be because of the HDMI slot ( I will try that next) the scaling doesn't work properly. It can zoom, up/down, left/right and both but not change any scaling even though I know that my TV can do it because I've done it several times.

My Gaming Monitor: Samsung Odyssey G5 34
My Television Model: Philips 50PUS6503/12

you should get an app called display fusion pro.

its by far the most extensive and best app i've found that fixes it.
windows wont do it. plus its got tons of useful stuff that can't be done any other way..
your monitor is forcing the tv to run at 1080p

They have to be the same aspect ratio for Duplicate to work as intended. Some 4K TVs are not 2160p so a 16:9 screen res from your PC might not be 100% correct when using duplicate

Ok thanks I will look into it. I would be able to make it if my TV would allow me to use a manual resolution 2560x1080. Even though I made it, it doesn't find it.

is your tv that res?
if not it will likely have bars or be stretched.
fusion will set it to whatever res you want and hz.

Right that's why I saw a 32:9 video perfectly cloned to a 16:9 TV on stage in my local store and that where just features of an now 7 year old tv. No points for you!

Both are 4k screens

Both are 4k screens

1440p may not be supported by one of them.
check the device settings for each input within display settings from windows desktop right click.
or the HDMI cable you used does not support 4k.
but still fusion can fix the first part and make your mouse stick to one screen plus i like the dimming/blackout feature if you don't want to use one of them.

or limit the res in windows, and enable gpu scaling (set to letterbox) in gpu control panel
then it will output the correct aspect to all displays and letterbox the higher res showing the lower res native in the center

Sorry, when I was posting, your post was not actually visible yet. So yea, we basically posted at the same time.

Because 32:9 and 16:9 actually translate properly; if you can do math, this should be a no brainer.

However most 4K TVs are actually 16:10; it depends.
As some use 3840x2160 while many of them use 4096x2160
So there are two basic options if the TV happens to be native 4096x2160
I can have 3840x2160 display on it with a tiny bit of black bars, or have it stretch full screen. This can be done from the TV menu itself, or from the PC/Console.

so? hes talking about cloning a monitor.
its only gonna be as big as your primary.
ONLY way to fix is with a program dedicated to it.

[_I_]

it may not have been cloned, but the player letterboxing or scaling the video to fit the ultra wide display from the 16:9 source

[_I_]

if the 2 odd displays need to be cloned, gpu scaling is the best way to do it
also the easiest to setup in nvidia, amd and intel gpu control panels
