-If you have a nice TV and ask for a 4K 3840x2160 resolution to the emulators, but with a bezel that is HD 1920x1080: by default Batocera will add black borders around the bezel. If you want your display to be full screen, you can either:
+===== 4K TV or Ultra Wide Monitors =====
-  - switch to a lower resolution (like 1920x1080)
+If you have a nice TV with a 4K resolution 3840x2160, or if you use an ultra-wide monitor, or if you basically use emulators with a resolution that is above 1920x1080 (larger, or taller), you might have distorted bezels, The reason is that Batocera ships default bezels with a HD 1920x1080 resolution. To fix that, several options, you can either:
-  - turn on the **STRETCH BEZELS** option in **GAMES SETTINGS**
-  - add a line ''mame.bezel_stretch=1'' in your ''batocera.conf'' for each emulator you want to stretch, or ''global.bezel_stretch=1'' if you want to enable it for all systems.
+  - switch to a lower resolution (like 1920x1080) - which might not look good for non 16:9 monitors and TV.
+  - or turn on the **STRETCH BEZELS** option in the **GAMES SETTINGS** -> **DECORATIONS** menu.
+  - or add a line ''mame.bezel_stretch=1'' in your ''batocera.conf'' for each emulator you want to stretch, or ''global.bezel_stretch=1'' if you want to enable it for all systems.

 Turning on bezel stretching for high resolutions has a significant impact on emulation performance.

+===== 720p TVs =====
+If you have a TV with 720p resolution, you might also have issues with distorted bezels. You can attempt to resolve this by making the following two changes in the Batocera menu:
+  * **GAME SETTINGS** -> **VIDEO MODE** = 1280x720 60Hz
+  * **GAME SETTINGS** -> **GAME ASPECT RATIO** = Core Provided
