How to fix Nintendo Switch screen stretched vertically on 5:4 monitor?
I have a Nintendo Switch plugged into an old 5:4 (1024x1080) monitor. The screen is stretched vertically pretty badly. I'd rather have a non-stretched image that doesn't completely fill the screen, aka black bars on the top and bottom of the screen, but I can't find a way to do this on the Switch settings or monitor settings. How do I get my Switch/monitor to stop stretching the image?

If the console is not set to the proper aspect ratio, the screen will appear to be stretched. Try adjusting the widescreen settings. The TV may be set to a zoom setting; try adjusting the zoom settings on the TV. Check the system connection to ensure the problem isn't caused by a poor connection.Why is my Nintendo switch zoomed in?
The switch only outputs widescreen ratio(16:9), so if your TV is an ultra widescreen(18:9), there will always be black bars unless you are okay with stretching or part of the screen being cut off.How to Adjust Screen Size on Nintendo Switch (Best Tutorial)
