  Hi, any chance of larger screen resolution. My native screen size  is 2560 x 1440  ( 27 inch monitor ) and it would be nice to have a full screen instead of the 2 black bars on either side. Thank you.

  I'm sure that you would not accept a deformed picture, would you?

  Thus, you'd have to connect a big screen with the same pixel ratio as the game window or you'd lose some part of the picture and possible some control features. (Happens to me on my tablet)

  I think you are mistaken. When I first start WGT with the Maxthon browser it opens with WGT default resolution. I then go into settings and select full screen which gives a much larger picture with no loss of quality so the limit is on the WGT end for full screen.

  If my monitor was a standard 1920 x 1080 it would fill the screen so the limit is set by WGT for the screen resolution.

  It is 2016 and most flat screen monitors have a much larger default size so in my view it is up to WGT to enable this,

  I view all web sites in 2560 x 1440  ( 27 inch monitor ) and it fills the screen no problem with no black bars on the sides and no loss of quality. I even made our web site at that resolution but it will fill to overflow on a smaller monitor but that is no problem because all you have to do reduce the % and it will fill your screen to a value you prefer to look at the web site.

  Just click on the 3 bars ( top right ) and reduce the percentage. Try it here www.scvcc.net

  Whenever you change the resolution, you need to be careful, cause the feel of the game will change. The bigger the screen, the faster the speed of the grid dots. At least the "feel" of their speed. The length of the meter can also change, (and move faster, if it's longer), which is not much of a hassle, unless you're an off ding putter like me. When I had to change computers 2 years ago, I was putting blind for a week. 

  But you can try different browsers, cause the size of the gameclient is not the same in every browser, maybe some other would be a better fit for you.
