21:9 monitor, can it run a ps3 by 16:9?

[LeGeNdSChAoS]

Hello guys,
So long story short, got a new monitor which is 21:9 aspect ratio and It's great but.. I can't seem to find out how can it support ps3 on a 16:9 aspect ratio because it gets all stretched up if I leave it on it's native resolution. The monitor is lg-25UM58-P and it comes with some onscreen control applications and even in there I can find an option for the ratio, but whenever I try to turn it down to basic 16:9 I get a message: "Please check the feature is enabled on your monitor setting and try again". As far as I know there isn't such an option on the monitor controls itself.

So if anyone has an idea how can I run ps3 on a 21:9 monitor, by having black bars on the sides and a 16:9 ratio I'll be glad.

Don't think the PS3 Supports doing that.

I though so too, but then I saw some people doing it with custom or in built Picture modes for the monitor.. I still think It's possible just need to find out how.

Sorry for bumping this but I'd really like some help. Haven't seen any threads on the net about this topic. We may help someone in the future anyway.

Chances are it just isn't possible.

Maybe but I refuse to believe it since at least I'm certain that you can do this within nvdia/amd control panel by selecting the resolution you'd want and the scale for the monitor itself.. And thus having a PIP mode in which you can connect 2 pc's to 1 monitor I think it's possible there could be some kind of a solution. Still if someone has ideas he can share.

Sorry for being annoying but still I'd like someone to take a look in this problem. I can't believe that this issue can't be "fixed".

Contact Sony.

They'll be your best bet.

If it simply won't work and you've already been told people aren't going to tell you again.
