Review Summary
Aspect Ratio 21:9 Chrome extension is praised for enhancing video playback on ultrawide monitors by stretching and scaling videos to better fit the screen, especially on platforms like YouTube and Prime Video. Users benefit from customizable aspect ratios and keyboard shortcuts. However, it has mixed results on Netflix and Disney+, sometimes failing to remove black bars or cutting subtitles. A required page refresh to apply changes adds minor inconvenience. Overall, it significantly improves the viewing experience for ultrawide users but may face compatibility limitations with certain sites.
Pros
- Effectively stretches and adjusts videos to fit ultrawide (21:9) monitors, improving viewing experience on platforms like YouTube, Netflix, and Prime Video.
- Allows custom scaling (X/Y factors) for different aspect ratios including 4:3, 16:9, and 21:9, enabling better control over video display.
- Includes useful keyboard shortcuts to quickly switch aspect ratios without reconfiguring settings.
- Works well on multiple ultrawide monitors, especially LG models, and can fix letterboxing and black bars issues when viewing content fullscreen.
- Users find it easy to use and appreciate continuous functionality updates and fixes.
Cons
- Does not consistently work on Netflix and Disney+ for some users, with some reporting no effect or issues with subtitles being cut off in crop/zoom mode.
- Requires page refresh for changes in aspect ratio settings to take effect, which some users find inconvenient.
- Videos still sometimes display black bars in fullscreen, indicating imperfect video stretching on certain platforms or browsers.
- Some users find the extension limited as it only focuses on aspect ratio adjustments with no additional features.
- Occasional reports of the extension not working at all despite being enabled and settings being adjusted.
