I recently got me a 1080p monitor because when I am recording my 1620x1050 doesn't cut it because of the annoying black bars on the side of the video. Well, I set up my new monitor today only to find out that the black bars are still on the side of the video. I thought having a 1080p monitor would fix this problem, but it just seems to persist. I've looked through my settings and made sure that my video resolution was correct. Anybody have any ideas why this is happening or how to fix it?

You'll probably have to go back into video settings and change your base resolution to your new monitor's resolution.

Well, I went back in there in the first place to see if the resolution changed and it did. It's set to 1920x1080.

This is what I have under my settings. Truthfully, I haven't seen anything that could be wrong, but maybe I'm just overlooking something.

Yes, removing and re-adding the source should fix this, assuming your desktop itself is running at 1920x1080 and not being stretched.

Ok, yeah removing and re-adding the source worked. Thanks guys! I'm sorry I didn't provide any more information. Now I just have to go back and re-add about 20-25 sources..... -_-'
