How To Get My Monitor To Cooperate

I'm running my Xbox HDMI signal into my PC for capture using an Elgato HD60. It has a separate out so I can take a second HDMI cable and run it to a TV (to play while I capture). I run this to my ultra wide monitor on my desk which is not 16:9 (resolution is 2560x1080). So needless to say, the resolutions from my Xbox One at 1080p don't match up. So the computer monitor just stretches it.

I can't find any settings in my monitor to keep the aspect ratio correct and simply use black pillar bars on the side. Xbox also has no such settings. I may have to use another alternative, like running it through some kind of external hardware first. Any thoughts on how to unstretch this?

 

Actually, I just figured it out. The setting was buried in my monitor menu (1:1). Please delete this as to not clutter up the forum.
