I thought we had done this once.

You need to set the display properties of your graphics cards to match the native resolution of the screen that you have bought. This will be a 16:9 resolution. You do not need to run teh windows on that screen at maximised resolution if you don't want. i.e. you can run a 4:3 window in a 16;9 screen. If you try and run a 4:3 res on a 16:9 screen it will try and stretch it unless you have the option in the display to run native and to tile the screen.
