Helpful article for gamers with widescreen displays
Wednesday, December 06, 2006
If you've read my blog you'll have seen that I have a Dell 2005fpw 20.1" Widescreen LCD to go with my 6800GT. This may be dandy for you but many games, particularly older games, don't scale very well with widescreen resolutions or get stuck at a fixed ratio. The article from WidescreenGamer.com article shows you some of the options you have to make games look better or fill up more of the screen without looking too fuzzy or pixelated. They use both drivers and the options on the monitor itself
Btw I know the game they're using, Half-Life 2, has native Widescreen options in their settings (I play at 1680x1050 with 4x AA, 8x AF and love it) but they're using it as an example.
Let me know what you think,
