So I've setup my new MiSTer Pi on my QLED and I used MiSTer Remote to configure the settings. When I used these video settings, the games are stretched:

How do I fix this?

EDIT: OK, found the right setting, needed to "Integer Scale Only".

This reminds me of when I was trying to get my parents Panasonic Plasma TV to display my Mega Drive in 4:3.

For some reason the TV's aspect ratio menu was frozen - which was pretty annoying as the console was only booting up with stretched 16:9 video being displayed.

A few hours later and I'd worked out that enabling Game Mode was what was preventing the aspect ratio being adjustable.

That's expected, the default aspect ratio of your TV is 16:9 and the game mode is intended to process the information the TV gets from the device as unaltered as possible. This means not changing the aspect ratio as well.
