I just had to get a new monitor with a 16:9 aspect ratio. My old monitors had the square screen and I'm having some difficulty adjusting to this different ratio, though I was assured in another thread here that I'll get used to it. My question is about MP4 files. The VLC player expands to the full width of the screen. I played an MP4 file and it expanded to the VLC screen width, leaving only a less than 1" black border on each side. I admit this looked much better here than when I played it on my old monitor. But when I play other MP4 files, they don't expand, leaving about a 4" black border on each side.
Why are the MP4 files playing differently? Is there a way to get all of them to fill the VLC width? I did select "full screen" from the VLC command bar.
The monitor is: HP 22uh
