Replacement of 19" monitor in 4.3 format

This panel is being phased out by Siemens and unfortunately we can no longer find a replacement in the 4:3 format. What is the best replacement for these monitors? How do I make my WinCC pictures what are made for 4:3 fill the new format (is the new format 16:9)? Is there a way to convert the picture that is not distorting almost everything or will all pictures need to be manually re-made to the new format?

You could try to use VBA-scripting in the Graphics Designer, for changing size and positions of pictures and of the objects in the pictures. see manual: "SIMATIC HMI WinCC V7.5 SP2 WinCC Information System" "Editing Pictures with VBA" https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109792585/46140782731 Regards Georg Berghof
