EPrime display settings for widescreen monitors

[molinae]

Hi Josh,

I use the 'Match desktop resolution' option in several screen sizes and it 
works fine. Just go to Edit>Experiment on the main menu, then go to the 
Devices tab and edit the Display one. A new windows should appear where you 
can set this property and also the screen resolution.
