 Replying to [comment:19 Klaas de Waal]:
 > With today's master, I do need to set the "Screen aspect ratio" to 16:10
 in order to get a video that exactly fills the window.
 > This is OK for me.

 Sorry Klaas - doing a little catchup on tickets/emails:)

 I didn't expect it expect it to work without overriding the aspect ratio
 when you previously said it was fixed. The fix should have forced you to
 override - but your comments and feedback from John pointed me to an
 oversight that was subsequently corrected in
 https://code.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/aeb97c5d2ebf3e097c65c783a6311338bf9c5f83/mythtv

 If that makes sense.

 > It would however IMHO be an improvement if the default setting would be
 correct for a display with square pixels. I have never seen a display with
 non-square pixels since the days of the standard-definition 16:9 plasma
 TV's.

 I'll give this a little thought. It's a fairly trivial fix if we went down
 that route - and it does make sense.

 I am however wary of the type of display that reports separate display
 modes for 'desktop' vs 'video' usage. So for example my spare monitor is
 1680x1050 native (16:10 aspect) but also has, for example, 1920x1080
 display modes where the output is letterboxed (and overscanned).

 I'll do a little testing to check.
