I screwed something up! Need a little guidance

[portyman]

It should just be settings issue. I got a new monitor for my cabinet and it is a Ben q 1440 WQHD. My previous monitor was a simple widescreen 1920 x 1080. The previous set up worked fine but now with the new monitor I am getting a windowed full screen when I run vpx, I have messed with a bunch of things but can’t seem to fix it. Any help or suggestions would,be appreciated.

Not exactly sure what problem you’re having but did you check the ScreenRes.txt file to make sure it’s correct

It’s the play field not the backglass. I was able to get the play field to fit the new monitor size. I overlooked the resolution setting in video options.  The issue I have now is that the image looks stretch on the new widescreen monitor. Is vpx only or best designed for 1920 x 1080? How should I handle the new monitor with the 1440 size.

Thanks

That is a good question

The playfield dimensions are also in the ScreenRes.txt file

I did not know about the screen res having the play field. I think since the 2560 x 1440 will scale to 1920 x 1080, I might try that and see if it fixes my issues. I thought a new nice monitor would be an easy install….. that was a mistake

Not a mistake.  The challenges this hobby throws at us now is part of the enjoyment for me.  Someday, challenges will probably go away.  And I will very much miss them.  Until then… @outhere  is like Yoda.
