Aspect ratio wrong?

Oh no, another "wrong aspect ratio" thing...

(Sorry, I know I am being pedantic, but I think is worth.)

When I enable a HD720 1280x720 screen mode and set "aspect ratio" to automatic or set it to 16:9, I would expect it to fill the whole screen since both Amiga monitor driver and my monitor resolution are 16:9, but it not.

The monitor is a LED FullHD TV at 1280x720 screen mode.

For example: when I set Automatic and view a 4:3 Amiga screen, the output is scaled down, as it should be. But when I view a 16:9 Amiga screen, the output is also scaled down. If both aspect ratio are equal its obvious that I dont need to scale it more, at least I think.

I am unsure if I need to report this, since I did a very similar question, make not so time ago, and at that time I misunderstood the real problem, but anyways, here am I.

It is normal. It assumes Amiga output is 4:3, it is made for normal use, if you do special things, you need special configuration.

Thanks Toni for the answer!

Sorry for more one question about "aspect ratios" and sorry also for that "its obvious..." phrase I did put on the text. Thats because I love bold statements, and nothing more, Ok?

Thanks!
