How to get rid of black bars in Valorant

ComposingGuru·2 years ago

Getting rid of those annoying black bars in Valorant is all about messing with your game's resolution and aspect ratio settings. First, you wanna make sure you’re playing on a resolution that matches your monitor. If your monitor is 1920x1080, set your game to that resolution. Then, check your graphics card settings (NVIDIA or AMD) for any aspect ratio or scaling options and ensure they're set to 'Full Screen' or 'Stretch to Fit.' Sometimes the game defaults to a 4:3 aspect ratio for that old-school feel, which on a widescreen monitor, gives you those black bars. Change it to 16:9 or whatever matches your monitor to get that sweet full-screen experience.

I personally love the black bars, gives it a cinematic feel lol. But yeah, just adjust your resolution settings if it's not your thing.

Change in-game resolution and aspect ratio? Sure, but also check if your monitor itself has settings messing things up. Some monitors have an 'aspect' or 'display' mode you can toggle. Had a friend who fixed the black bars just by pressing one button on his monitor. Yeah, it was that simple.
