A note. My old video card (ATI X850XT PE didn't do very good centered output. Only did it for like 2 different resolutions. I was beginning to think it was the monitor not capable of doing 1:1 pixels for any resolutions lower than 1920x1200. I was wrong. The Nvidia card I have now does it all, whatever I want.

Video Card: 8800GTS
Driver: 6.14.11.6218
Monitor: samsung syncmaster 226bw, and a second plug and play monitor.
Centered Output: can't find this option?
Fixed Aspect Ratio Scaling: working... trough a work-around;
If I leave my monitor on and statr my PC, i can't change the option to fixed aspect, if i only turn it once once windows has started, i can select aspect scaling.
However it tens to go wrong after a few resolution changes anyway, and it only works like this after i used a hd/overscan fix.

I think we should also make note of the OS.
For example in my case under Vista fixed aspect scaling works, but under XP it doesn't work since whenever I click Apply it doesn't stay on the option I chose.

Centered Output: Have no idea what this is

Centered Output: can't find this option?

Its referred to as "Do not scale" in the new control panel. I've updated the original post to explain this a bit better.

Another good point. I've updated the original post.

Is this an nvidia problem only? You're saying if I had an ati card I could fullscreen (4:3) with black bars on the side?

Edit: Works in Vista SP1 x64. Did not test in x86 or non-SP1.

Driver: 169.06

I think ATI can't do it at all, but not sure.

Happy to contribute to this now i've got an nVidia card, breath of fresh air from ATI really as .....
