windows 8.1 trouble watching netflix streaming full screen

[WPCentral Question]

I have windows 8.1 when I watch Netflix streaming on some of the older television series when it starts to stream I click on the lower right button to expand the picture to fill the screen and nothing happens. On windows 7 this function works perfectly.

Are you using the Netflix app or watching Netflix in a web browser?

I use the Netflix app and always get full screen. However, the aspect ratio on some older shows does not match the aspect ratio of my monitor. However, that is because old TV shows were designed fit old analog TV screens.
