  I believe the game was made in 4:3 format not 16:9 or "letterbox". I play on 40 inch and theres always black bars down the side. I can just see the putts missing easier with bigger screen.

  This picture is the best that I could get with my phone but I think it shows pretty much what I was saying.Native is 1920x1080 but it works much better with 1280x960

  My screen resolution is 1366 x 768 and I can't seem to get it any bigger.

  No that is just Comodo Dragon that fills the entire screen all the other browsers have black edges. Some are close to CD but most have at least an inch of black on each side. I leave my resolution set at 1280x960 for everything. It works well for everything I do on the PC.

  Your video settings don't go down to 1280x960?

  My wife tried that screen-stretching mode, said, "Does this make my a$$ look big?"

  I play on my laptop and had to go down to 1152 x 864 to make it full screen lol.  Not sure if I like it or not.

  The game is 4:3 and your screen is 16:9, if you want the game to fill the entire screen the aspect ratio on the game would have to change and everything would look quite weird and it would also affect the scaling of the putting grid, you would not like that. Maybe one day they make wide screen versions, but currently those bars just indicates that there is nothing more to show in 4/3 format.

  I never use the in game full screen button, instead I use F11 (maybe Windows have a different key) to make a proper full screen. In this mode you do not have to "exit full screen mode" to chat or whatever the in game full screen doe not allow you to do. I also find the meter slightly better with F11.

  Hi, Ive just had my computer upgraded from windows xp 32 bit and running google chrome to Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit running firefox. My screen is 458mm x230mm.  When I come on to WGT to play I find that there are 2 inch black bars down the sides of the screen which cuts the view down to half size.
