    Gaming resolutions.....

    Lo all,

    If I buy a TFT monitor and play CS with it's resolution set at 1024*768, but the monitor is quoted at 1280*1024.

    What will happen?

    Will it play in 1024?

    Or will the fps just shoot down and then render CS unplayable?

    Kind Regards

    Nick

    It will work fine, it just wont look no where near as good unless you use the TFT's native resolution.

    Most TFTs on the market wil notl look as good as a decent CRT at the moment.
