How to get a stretched screen in CS:GO

Getting that stretched screen look in CS:GO is all about adjusting your in-game settings and your computer's graphics settings. First, open CS:GO and head to the video settings. Change the aspect ratio to 4:3 and select a lower resolution than your monitor's native one. This makes everything look wider and bigger in-game. Next, you'll want to tweak your graphics card settings. For NVIDIA users, go to the NVIDIA Control Panel, select 'Adjust desktop size and position', then select 'Full-screen' under Scaling. For AMD, it's pretty similar - go to Radeon Settings, display options, and find the scaling options to adjust them to 'Full Panel'. Boom, enjoy your new stretched look and the potential in-game advantage of larger targets!

I've been playing CS:GO on a stretched screen for years! Adjusting your settings like this can really help see enemies better, especially if you're used to older, 4:3 games. Just remember it might take a bit to get used to the aiming difference, but stick with it!
