Stretching on Full HD display

Señor Albonio · 12-23-2014

Hello everyone!

I recently got a new display for my computer (LG 23MP55) but with its crystal clear full HD resolution come some nasty bugs when you are on classic.graalonline.com or Facebook. When you enter full screen everything gets weirdly stretched. my previous display was 1440x900 (which is the same aspect ratio) didn't have this problem.

I was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem?
Any ideas?

I've always had this problem on a 1920x1080 monitor. It's to do with the resolution. I'm guessing that the application only fits to certain resolutions or up to a maximum resolution. Anything after that is just stretched to fit.

Thank you for your reply! I thought i was the only one. From your reply I can assume there's no known fix?

You're welcome, and not that I know of.

Try Firefox or Try Chrome

For me when I use chrome it gets all pixelated but when I use Firefox it gets stretched a little but doesn't look too bad

Also for some reason pressing the (+) button doesn't affect the quality in my end. Try doing that instead of using full screen

Is there any possible way to zoom out further through facebook client?

Not that I know of. You can only zoom out so far using the + and - buttons, and the fullscreen mode only stretches to your screen size.

You could edit the HTML and make changes to the width and height.

I think he wants a practical solution though.

It's weird that they would render differently, considering it's flash doing the rendering. I don't know why it would pixelate like that anyways since it should be rendering at 1:1 at that scale. I can only assume Flash has a max rendering resolution and you're capping the horizontal render but not the vertical(because widescreen) which is causing it to mess up the ratio.

Just a guess, but considering Chrome has flash built-in, Google has probably done something fancy with it/tweaked it slightly. It renders the same in Internet Explorer and Firefox and they're both using the version of flash that you can download from Adobe.

Jumping onto Firefox fixed for me, still quite odd that Chrome does this.
