Stretched Image?

[WoLFe]

Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated! I just wish Mesh could have made all this clearer when selling monitors with this aspect ratio as the manual doesn't say much about it at all.

I do have a few questions though - in games is it best to run at the native resolution too? Or if that isn't available will other 16:10 aspect resolutions such as 1280x800 be okay?

And finally... if a game does not have aspect ratio resolution support, will the monitor/graphics card stretch the image (say a regular 1024x768 resolution) or will it adjust it somehow?

Hope that all makes sense. Thanks!

If your game can run in native resolution thats the best way to run it. Even sacrificing anti-aliasing etc.. I normally find better than lowering the res.

If you do lower the resolution it will scale to fit the whole screen yeah. Most LCD screen's tend to look a bit dodgy when you do this which is why people try their hardest to play at native

Glossy screens tend to do a better job than matte one's.. good thing for laptop users

Okay I'll keep all that in mind, thanks!
