How to Get Black Bars in CS:GO on a Laptop
Best answer

Just set your in-game resolution to one that isn't native to your laptop's display. For example, if your laptop's screen is 1920x1080, try changing the game's resolution to something like 1024x768 for those classic black bars. Easy peasy.

Getting black bars in CS:GO on your laptop is all about changing your aspect ratio settings. Most of the time, you just need to head into your graphics card control panel, like NVIDIA Control Panel or AMD Radeon Settings, and look for 'Adjust desktop size and position' or similar. Here, you can select 'Aspect ratio' instead of 'Full-screen' and choose the resolution that gives you black bars. Remember, you might also need to tweak settings in the CS:GO video options to make sure everything matches up!

Honestly, why would anyone want black bars? Just play full-screen and enjoy the game how it's meant to be played. More visibility, less nonsense.
