This guide will help you in the game “ Cars 2: The Video Game ” to choose a comfortable screen resolution for playing on a large screen without black bars on the sides. In the game settings, unfortunately, in most versions and editions, there is no resolution of 1920×1080, which is ideal for modern monitors. However, a solution was found that will help you get the closest settings suitable for 1920×1080, so that the picture looks good and without black bars on the sides, especially on monitors with an aspect ratio of 16:9.
If you suddenly do not have an available screen resolution of 1920×1080, then by selecting a suitable one for playing on monitors with an aspect ratio of 16:9, it was revealed that an alternative resolution is 1600×900.

Note on screen resolution:
I would like to point out that the screen resolution of 1600×900, although suitable for monitors with a screen of 16:9, but if you have a monitor with a resolution of 1920×1080, then the image when using the resolution of 1600×900 may be stretched or blurry.
This is mainly because the 1600×900 resolution has fewer pixels than 1920×1080. When a lower resolution image is stretched to a higher resolution, pixels may be duplicated or stretched to fill the extra space. This often results in a blurry and grainy image. Ideally, to get the best image quality on a 1920×1080 monitor, it is recommended to use this resolution in-game . If you do not have the option to enable this resolution, then 1600×900 is the best alternative solution available.
Using this guide it will be possible to configure the game “Cars 2: The Video Game” on a large screen without black bars on the entire screen. Now you can enjoy the game in full resolution and comfortably even on not more modern monitors.
