크롬캐스트 21:9 - keulomkaeseuteu 21:9

I've set up my new Chromecast with Google TV on a Dell 34" Ultrawide monitor and I (wrongly) assumed that it would support the 21:9 aspect ratio. However, the chromecast outputs at 16:9 and stretches the image to the full monitor size, instead of showing black bars on the left and right sides. Is it possible to change the chromecast output to 21:9? So far, everything I've found online says no. And unfortunately, the dell monitor doesn't have a setting that forces the image to 16:9 (its options are oddly 21:9, 5:4, and 4:3). Hoping for a solution or even a work-around.

Does your monitor have any options for vertical scaling? If so, use it.

It does not. Just has the aspect ratio options I mentioned in the initial post.

Hey there smoheath,

I was looking at the Chromecast with Google TV specs and settings, and the only things I could find were that it supports all resolutions: 480p, 720p, 1080p, 2160p output (User Interface default is 1080p) Aspect Ratio: 16:9, and 4K HDR Dolby Vision, in up to 60 fps. I do not think there is a setting to change the Chromecast output, unfortunately. If this is a feature you'd like to see in the future, I'd encourage you to submit feedback via Google TV to let Google know.

I'm sorry I couldn't have been more helpful, but if you have any other questions or concerns for me, please let me know.
Best regards,
Jeran

Hey there!

We haven't heard back from smoheath, and it's been a few days, so I'm locking the thread. As always, feel free to make a new thread if you have any more questions or concerns.

Thank you for your help, djtetei!

I've had a google and I can't find a satisfactory answer, so here seems like a good place to ask. I'm trying to ascertain whether a chromecast can be made to work with a 21:9 ratio monitor (this LG one specifically)

I don't expect a chromecast will drive a monitor at 2560x1080, but will it still work at 1080p/720p? Can the chromecast manage this somehow? Will it be boxed/scaled?

Any insight into whether this works or not or first hand experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
