The native resolution of my monitor is 1600x900. Whenever I attempt to use a lower resolution than that (either with desktop display settings or when running a game in fullscreen), it always causes black letterboxes.
What I would LIKE to have happen would be to choose a lower resolution, and have it stretch across the screen. Ie, if I run a game fullscreen in 800x450, it would scale up to fit the full 1600x900 screen.
I'm not sure if this is a problem with my computer or if this is something to do with my monitor.
Here's the specs:
Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium
AMD Athlon II x4 2.8 GHz
3GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5700
Monitor: Dell ST2010
I think that should be all the relevant info, but tell me if you need more.
