Every time I connect my iPad to a monitor or TV a get a square picture with two black columns each side. Is there a way to stretch the appearance to 16:9? I do not seem to find anything on either the iPad or my monitors to do that other than magnifying the picture that, however, does not address the issue.
Thank you!

Hello,
This is expected behavior. All software on iPad, including the system software, is designed to work on iPad's display which has a 4:3 aspect ratio. Most external displays that you connect to iPad use an aspect ratio of 16:9. All of iPad's software would have to be completely rewritten to support 16:9. The few exceptions are iMovie and LumaFusion as they allow for the editor's viewer window to scale to full size on an external display. Media applications such as TV also will display a video in its full resolution on an external display.

Is there a way to have iPad in 16:9 when connecting via HDMi to monitor?
