Hello,
I currently have a NEC Accusync 120 21 inch monitor.When playing Battlefield
the game image will not fill the screen. I have tried different resolutions
to no avail.Is there a option, or tool to allow me to play the game, making
full use of my monitor screen?

thank you
Stephen

Thanks for the reply! Yes I have done that, but I have to keep resetting my
monitor after I finish playing. I was hoping to avoid that. Thanks for the
tip

in video.con there is an option to allow or disallow refresh rates other
than 60Hz. bf42 defaults to 60Hz but your desktop is probably refreshing
much higher than that [probably around 100Hz] - i found that [for example]
1280x1024@60Hz would be a different on screen size to 1280x1024@85Hz on
iiyama vm410pro

Thanks, dr ratt, and Me,Myself. I did as Me,Myself suggested, by streaching
my screen while in the game. I thought I had already tried that! and, I
would have to always reset my desktop, once i excited the game, but this
time my desktop stayed true.
thanks

It is in(or can be added to) videodefault.con in settings-folder. The variable
is: renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1.
Try to set the game resolution to the same res/refresh-rate as your desktop.
