I have a question that may put me off Wide Screen. Obviously some games, such as bf2, dont support ws. I was wondering if the game is stretched or will the monitor adjust to give the right shape?
Poll
Which monitor should I get???
| Hyundai | 46% | 46% - 18 | ||||
| Viewsonic | 35% | 35% - 14 | ||||
| Other (please state) | 17% | 17% - 7 | ||||
| Total: 39 | ||||||
You might want to search that one, but in summary, either stretched or lose some at top and bottom. I'd stick with 4:3 but that's just my opinion.

what i mean is can a 4:3 be played on 16:9 without stretching?
I wouldnt mind have black space down the sides of games intended to be only 4:3

To me it looks nice, as long as you run in your monitors native res, in your case 1440x900.daffytag wrote:

I belive so, I have a widescreen but have not tryed it. I think its like a vertical letterbox, un-used space on the left and right side. I think that BF2 looks fine streched. I have a 21" Gateway widescreen and it is great, I just need a better graphics card to be able to utilize it. I only have a 6600 GT OC.daffytag wrote:

I also have a regular 17" viewsonic and it is a good brand. Check the warenties. Thats the one sticking point I had with the Gateway monitor.
