Are the graphics in Diablo II really this bad?

[Strafe]

CLA2 on a 21" monitor 640x480 really looks horrible. I was talking to my brother who has a 19" monitor and he said they looked really good. Looks really pixelated to me. When I installed it I selected the D3D option.

It doesn't look that bad on my 17 in monitor. But the game's graphic could have been better.

Don't have the game but i downloaded a bunch of screen shots, reset my desktop res. to 640x480 and viewed them in full screen mode....I have a 19" tube...the graphics looked blurry and characters were very indistinct (yes, some of that was do to image loss quality on the screenshots). I'd say 17" on down might be ok but it all depends on your personal preference...

I think it was a little short-sighted of them not to opt for 800x600. Then again, the game was projected to come out like 2 years ago, when 640x480 was the standard for 2D games (Baldur's Gate had no complaints last year). BG2, coming out later this summer, is going to be 800x600.

I think it looks much better with perspective view turned off.

Wow. I hate it when I have to play good games using low resolution. I really wish they have an option for graphic resolution.
