Check if your LCD or video card has the option to enable\disable stretch.

Sorry, what should I check for?

Doing a bit more searching, someone recommends that if you have an LCD/Widescreen monitor to set your output to "ddraw" as well?

I was just running "overlay" as I figured it'd allow me to use the scalers to adjust the quality of my image...

Would that possibly make the difference?

In other words, I should:

set output to ddraw
set resolution to 1920x1080
make sure aspect=true

I'm looking to fill up the height of my monitor without distorting the aspect ratio.

If you have an NVidia video card and a monitor plugged into the DVI port, the relevant options are in the NVidia control panel.

ATI user here --- I've got the catalyst control panel. Is there something in particular I should search for?

There's nothing in that panel you want to touch to fix this

Try an output that's not surface or overlay (Direct3D or DDraw may be good ones for ATI)

then you'll be able to aspect correct away

Thanks guys, I'll give it a shot when I get home from work. 😀

There's an option in the most recent Catalyst panel to enable or disable GPU scaling and such for flat panels.

I know exactly what you're after!

Check your config file and set these settings:

[sdl]
fullscreen=true
fullresolution=0x0 (0x0 means it will use the native resolution of your LCD like 1920 x 1080)
output=openglnb

[render]
aspect=true
scaler=normal3x

Everything's looking great now, thanks you guys! 😁
