I'd like the ability to change the aspect ratio of the plex app to 2.35:1 or 2.40:1. I currently have a projector set up with a screen that has that aspect ratio and It would be nice to have that flexibility. How difficult would that be? ---

Could you not just change the resolution output to your display to one with a suitable AR and run Plex within that? ---

This doesn’t solve the issue b/c the projector can only display the 16:9 format. This has been documented in many posts, however, it’s not always clear. Please see this post for a better explanation of the issue. > [@UI Setting to always support Widescreen cinematic format for home theater projectors](https://forums.plex.tv/t/ui-setting-to-always-support-widescreen-cinematic-format-for-home-theater-projectors/803563): > > As the widescreen aspect ratio becomes more popular, many homeowners are building theaters in the widescreen format (2.4:1, 2.35:1 as examples). The trouble is PLEX does not currently support this and the user experience is less than desirable. Issue when using a widescreen format: In order to project on widescreen to view a widescreen formatted movie, the projector has to be zoomed in, leaving the black borders (top and bottom) outside the screen viewing area. This is a very common practice… ---
