I just run everything in the native resolution, which in my case is
1280X1024. Works fine for me. If you buy a wide-screen or bigger monitor with a native res higher than that you do have to take into consideration you comptuers abilitiy to push that many pixels. Mine can, so I'm good. Ths is, however, why I haven't bought silent hunder 3. They locked the res to 1024X768 (dumb-asses). -Larry "Marc Collins" > wrote in message ... >I would love to get a LCD panel to save space, but how do you all deal with >the pathetic views in non-native resolution?

I've had a 19" Sony flatscreen CRT for 6 years or so and finally decided
to switch to an LCD. The one I got is the Viewsonic VX924. What a gorgeous monitor! I've tried three games, all play fine in their set resolutions: Top Spin Tennis (800x600) UT2004 (1024x768) GTR (1024x768) My video card is a 128MB GF4 Ti4600; that's the next thing I'll be upgrading. - F50 GT Larry wrote: > I just run everything in the native resolution, which in my case is > 1280X1024.

Then they can't sell to me. Their loss.
Coding in fixed resolutions is DUMB. -Larry "Fisher" > wrote in message ... > On Tue, 12 Jul 2005 19:14:32 -0400, "Larry" > wrote: > >>I just run everything in the native resolution, which in my case is >>1280X1024.

Why do these LCD Monitors have a native resolution thats not standard such
as 1280X1024 in the first place? Following the logical scale upwards from 640X480, 800X600, 1024X768 1280X960 NOT 1280X1024. Why not just pick any other arbitrary resolution that kinda fits? I understand why developers dont support non standard resolutions. Mitch "Larry" > wrote in message news:8kUCe.64895$R21.46833@lakeread06... > Then they can't sell to me.

Well, whether it should be or not, 1280X1024 IS a standard.
Beyond that, I've seen all the arguments on this one.
