most monitors default to stretching the image unless a game/program is specifically designed to preserve aspect ratio, but shouldn't it be simple to circumvent this? i own an AOC F22 1080p monitor with few picture customization options and don't see a way to do it natively, but are there other options i can look into?
edit: i'm running an nvida gtx260 and the control panel's scaling options aren't exactly straight forward. i'm gonna try experimenting, but any help there is appreciated if it's an adequate solution
edit 2: on second thought, that was pretty straightforward. now for the last question: is there any hit to image quality or performance for a standard 1920x1080 image when using gpu scaling as opposed to monitor scaling? i suppose if i'm worried about that i can set scaling options on a case by case basis, leaving monitor scaling as the default, but it'd certainly be simpler the other way
