VIDEOLAN VLC: FULL SCREEN SETTINGS I think a few people still find it difficult to find that "sweet spot" for the VLC full-screen settings. The default VideoLAN VLC settings don't exactly give the correct full-screen effect due to the different screen sizes and default system display settings. Actual full-screen display result; uncropped screenshot This setting was only tested on a system with Screen size of 13. Display settings (scale and layout): 150% Display settings (Display resolution): 1920 x 1080 There are three easy steps to achieve this result. First: Right-click and hover over the video option, then set zoom to 1:1 original. Secondly: Hover over the Aspect ratio settings and set it to 16:10 Lastly: Hover over the crop option and set it to 1.85.1 You're good to go! There's also a video I uploaded in case this description isn't clear. Feel free to leave a comment and let us know if you have any other settings.
