I have one in my laptop and I need help. I want to make it so resolutions lower than my native resolution get stretched out to fill the screen when I play games. It seems the Intel HD 4000 does not let me do this.

I don't know if this works for games as well, but in the intel control panel under the media tab there is a menu called "Image Scaling" that allows you to stretch images and video. I haven't tried it for games though.

I think it is for pictures only.

Pictures and video it says. But probably not for games then.

Which games are we talking about, and what's the resolution of your screen?

DOSBox and ScummVM games can be adapted to any screen size, but you probably know that already.

Modern games should have options to adjust the screen size.

For other games, DxWnd might be useful, though you'll see the window borders and title bar when you use it. There's another tool which allows to force games into borderless windowed mode, but the name eludes me at the moment.

Personally, I can access scaling option in the nVidia driver, but it seems from your description that the Intel driver isn't as sophisticated.

Frankly, I don't even understand why anyone would want that to happen. Stretched graphics always look hideous.

My resolution is 1366 x 768. But I want to play in a lower resolution and not see black bars on each side. The games are Team Fortress 2, Fallout 2, Primal Carnage Beta and more.

I like the way they look.

You should be able to do this by opening the Intel graphics panel and going to Display Settings > Aspect Ratio Options and choosing Full Screen. This will then stretch the output to fit the monitor, rather than maintaining the aspect ratio.

You'll still need to set a suitable resolution inside the game that's compatible with your display, of course.

My control panel doesn't know any aspect ratio options under display settings. :(

Doesn't your monitor do this? My monitor has two settings in the menu - aspect correct and stretch to full.

My laptop has Intel 4500mhd, and in the control panel scaling settings only show up when the desktop is at a non-native resolution.

I don't have a monitor. I have a laptop and you are right. The scaling settings only show up when the desktop is at a non native resolution. Thanks for sharing with me the solution to my problem. :)

No problem :)

Unfortunately in my experience those settings reset back to default as soon as you switch the desktop back to native resolution.

The 4:3 resolutions make my graphics too wide and the 16:9 resolutions make my graphics too thin. Anyone know what I can to make my graphics normal?

Not an option because I'm using a laptop.
