No Scaling vs Automatic Integer Scaling

[cybermat]

Hello,
i have a doubt regarding these 2 ways to use Winuae with a 19" Full Hd LCD monitor (1920x1080) , in Fullscreen mode.

I attach the different layouts i get playing with SWOS.

With no scaling i have green borders in Swos (as far i can see coulour changes according to the game, in Wiz'n'Liz borders are blue)

With automatic integer scaling to 1/8 i have black borders

My concerns are not from a "cosmetic" point of view, but regarding emulation performance, with automatic integer scaling i continue to see the scaling working, for example in wiz'n'liz screen resolutions seems to change 3 times from the title screen, with no scaling resolution seems to be fixed.

According to your experience, what is the best way to use fullscreen with a LCD monitor full hd 16:9 ?

Maybe you've already talked about that, with searching feature i didn't find the answers.

Thanks for your help.

Personally I always use "No scaling"

Ok, so the "coloured" borders are the price to pay to use "No scaling" right? These bars not used for playing, could someway affect emulation performances ?

The keyword here is "automatic" - automatic scaling modes may blank overscan area so you have no green/blue/whatever border.

Yes but you only see them in games that have overscan.

Nope, not that I'm aware of.

Never seen any issues

Yeah I don't use scaling, however I do use 2x horizontal and 2x vertical just to boost the size up.
