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

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 been setting this thing up all week on mine. thats not true, it fits to resolution and windows wont change it if it don't match the primary.

wow!!!! how is it working the same pic on all my machines then?

did you hit winkey + P and clone?

if windows res dont match, the gpu will not output native res to the displays

the display could be scaling it non natively to its panel

i can see all the settings im not blind.
it doesn't do that if the res don't match. YOU must use an outside program

or the gpu control panel

You don't have to match the primary. However the other screen has to be able to do what the primary is doing, or better.

For example if my Laptop is 1920x1080 and my external screen is 3840x2160; then the 4K external screen can do a few different res' properly cloned; such as...

1280 x 720
1366 x 768
1600 x 900
1920 x 1080
2560 x 1440

If it's something else, or that the external display (4K TV) is actually True UHD, which is 4096x2160, then I need to do this a couple ways.

Playing around with the Zoom and/or Fit-to-Screen option on the TV.

Setting my PC GPU Settings to Stretch To Full Screen, Aspect Ratio, or Integer Scaling (GPUs such as RTX 30 and 40 series should offer Integer Scaling on NVIDIA 551.xx and newer drivers)

OMG yes it will, it will just scale the lower res to fit the borders of the external screen. It's always worked that way in WinOS.

Back in the days of WinXP people all over the world were using Laptops with 720/768p screens and would clone the Desktop to a 1080p Projector; what happens? The 720/768p gets output fine, it's just stretched to fit the full screen of the projector Please go back to school, you have failed so hard son.

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.

that's 1080p ultrawide

why do you guys waste time not helping anyone here?

Exactly. This is not going to clone as 1:1 on a 16:9 1080p or 2160p (4K) screen.
It can clone, but will look either stretched horizontally to fit; or it will display with black bars in order to retain the aspect ratio of the cloned res (2560x1080 is 21:9)

That's all good and fine; however the output seen on the TV simply won't be correct; not unless it is displayed with Black Bars so that the original aspect ratio is retained.

exactly, that would be stretching, not scaling

stretch = 4:3 to 16:9 wit no bars, just filling the display
scale = 4:3 holding 4:3 with letterbox sides (black bars) to hold the aspect, and scale to fill vertical
center = 4:3 image in the center of the 16:9 with letterbox black bars on top, bottom and sides to center the image in the 16:9 display
