Ok, so for fps purposes I play at a lower resolution of 1024x720. Yes yes I know that's low, how can you play like that, your game must look terrible, blah blah blah. Nevertheless, I'm used to it, and I've been able to play at this resolution in full screen, with it stretched across the screen (don't know any other way to put it). However, when I started TF2 this morning, there were two black borders on either side of my screen. That's never happened before, and I haven't changed my launch options or anything in any way since switching to my low res.

It might be something stupid simple that I need to do, but I don't know how. Therefore I entreat the TF2 competitive community, comprised of quite a few smart individuals, to "help a bro out".

I've tried 1024x768 but 720 looks slightly better imo. I've tried changing it to 768 with the same result; the black border.

You might want to consider letting the game display at its actual aspect ratio with black bars instead of stretching the image. If it already looks bad there's no need to make it look worse by distorting the image.

#7 the only problem with that is that I feel like my field of view decreases, which in turn makes my sensitivity feel either too fast or too slow. Plus I've grown quite used to the "distorted" images.
