Display window size...

I thought I saw somewhere in VV3 that this could be adjusted...

I now have VV4 and seem stuck on 360x240 (Auto) and 720x480 (full). The size of the preview display will get SMALLER if I shrink the window, but I have no steps between 360x- and 720x- What I want to is:

1) Can my preview display be set somehow between 360x- and 720x-?

2) If so, where can I adjust the default "auto" size of the display (and is there a setting that will allow it to "stretch" with the resizing of the window while still maintining aspect ratio?

Thanks for the help.

There is no "between" 360 and 720. It's either/or.
Set to Preview/Full for full 720 views. It's a huge pig on the screen, which is another excuse and benefit of an external monitor. If you have duals, drag this to the other monitor.

Thanks Spot.

I'm like Goldie Locks...the first size is TOO BIG...the next one down is TOO SMALL...guess I'll never have JUST RIGHT...

As for the external -- If you could see my office, you'd laugh out loud...

Maybe your office is small, but trying to output video to anything but web without an external monitor of some sort is begging for trouble. The gamma and color balance issues on a computer monitor vs a cheap or expensive broadcast monitor alone make even a 6" LCD monitor that costs 150.00 at B&H worth the small footprint. Heck, you can even velcro it to your computer monitor at the top or side, or to the wall if you really don't have space.
Either way, cheap or not, you really should be using an external somewhere to monitor any filters, etc. Otherwise, you'll never be accurate. It's simply impossible to be accurate on a computer monitor. Not to mention you can't see accurate interlacing artifacts and other weirdnesses.
