<p>Regarding the black bar, it's because the CG's aspect ratio is still in 4:3 (16:12) while most screens are in 16:9 or 16:10 nowadays. Since the aspect ratio is not the same, the CG won't fit the whole screen and thus <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letterboxing_(filming)" rel="noreferrer">letterboxing</a> is used.</p>

<p>I'd like to buy <em><a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/658620/Wonderful_Everyday_Down_the_RabbitHole/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Wonderful Everyday</a></em> VN. I know that this VN is an old one. The CG was made around 2000-2010 in 480p. </p>

<p>Does the Steam version of this VN have the CG upscaled from 480p to 720p? Or do  they still use the 480p CG like the Japanese version? </p>

<p>I mean, I saw the CG on the internet, the VN still have the black bar for both side like it was made around 2000, is this same with the Steam version?</p>
