the image does not fill entire screen of iPad, therefore not the entire TV screen. Why?

When I try to mirror a video from my iPad to TV using Apple TV, the video does not fill entire screen of iPad nor the entire screen of my TV, Is there a way to strech the image to fit screen(s)?

AppleTV 2, iOS 5.0.1

Welcome to the Apple Community.


There are two factors in play here. Firstly the iPad screen is 4:3, your TV is 16:9, so when mirroring the mirrored iPad screen is never going to fill the TV screen. If on top of that, whatever you are watching doesn't fill the iPad screen then that too will be reflected in what is seen in the mirrored image.


You cannot stretch this using the Apple TV or iPad controls, but your TV may have a setting you can use. Generally speaking though this will distort the image and you would likely be best leaving it alone.
