I realized you can't alter it—really silly, right? Many experts stick with 16:9, while 1080p works best on consoles. Opting for 1440p or 4K is the trend now.

It's not foolish, it's about creating a balanced situation.

It's about fairness in viewing angles. Using a 4:3 stretch feels balanced for everyone, while a 16:9 format can look skewed. The choice isn't about cheating—it's about what works best for the audience.

Yes, a 4:3 stretch can provide an edge.

You just reversed your position, claiming no benefit while also arguing it isn’t dishonest.

Comparing 4:3 stretched to 16:9 1080p only increases screen size without improving gameplay significantly. It's similar to enlarging text for better visibility—it helps you spot details more easily, like seeing a character's expression clearer. Pun intended.

I purchased 16:9 because of a need. 4:3 is just okay. Just having the equipment doesn't improve your skills if you're not good at the game from the start.

I disagree that it does I don't think there is an advantage, but it effectively lets you change FOV which is not allow .. so why is monitor stretching allowed? its doing a similar task as decreasing your FOV to make the player models appear larger Personally I think having greater peripheral vision and smoother mouse movement are WAY more beneficial than slightly bigger player models I will never understand the 4:3 stretched thing

I use 2560x1080 resolution, which helps me keep track of both sides when I focus on one area. It’s similar to placing two 4:3 screens side by side.
