because that res is 4:3.
try 1280x720

Monitor is 1080P. That's 16:9 ratio.

You want 4:3. You will have stretching if you try 4:3.

Monitor is 1080P. That's 16:9 ratio.

Not automatically.
You can have an ultra wide screen with 2560x1080, which wouldnt be 16:9.

Unrelated. 1080p is always 16:9, there are no other ratios, 2560x1080 is always 21:9.

1080p is always 1920x1080, nothing else.

no, not correct.
1080 is NOT always 16:9.

1080 tells you, that the vertical resolution is 1080 lines. nothing more, nothing less.
so if i say, i have a 1080 screen, its just that. 1080 vertical lines.
it wont tell you if its 16 or 21:9, unless you name the horizontal resolution as well...

please show me, where the international standard says that a vertical res of 1080 is always 16:9.

same with UHD: i can have 4096 (native 4k) and 3840 (UHD) which will give you 21 und 16:9 ration,
while horizontal res is 2160 for both.
so saying your screen is a 2160 res, wont tell anything about the ratio.

i never said that 1080 is always 16:9 as i have 5760x1080 setup. I said that 1080p was, and it always has been since it was conceived. 1080p is an abbreviation for 1080 Progressive, FHD, or BT.709.This is the standard introduced in 1998 by the FCC.

1080 would just imply that it is 1080 pixels on the shortest side, but not specify the other, typically it's the height, but it can also be the width(typically only in vertical monitor setups). When you add a P or I, that specifies that the other length is 1920 and either interlaced or progressive depending on the suffix.

ahh, yes you did:

Unrelated. 1080p is always 16:9, there are no other ratios.



so please tell me, what is the H res of a 2048x1080 (flat screen) tv?
right, its still 1080 and its p, unless its a tube (dont know of any).


the 1080p = FHD standard is for HDTV's, not a standard for monitors.
and saying 1080p does not automatically tell "me", if your talking about the FHD standard, or part of the screen res.
same reason saying you have a 2160p screen will not tell me its ratio.
which can be 21:9 for native 4K (4096) and 16:9 for UHD (3840) as both share the same H res of 2160p.
