Stupid question about LCDs and older games.

[dennilfloss]

Is it problematic to play older fixed-resolution 640x480 games like Might & Magic 6-8 with today's crop of LCDs since that type of display is said not to work well at non-native resolutions?

Not problematic, just might not be very pretty, but thats why you force 8X AA on makes it look much better. Mess around with the stretching settings of the LCD to for the best image.

I play all kinds of old games on my 24" LCD and they all look fine to me. I would not worry about it.

The main thing that bothers me is that the aspect ratios rarely match. Very few LCD monitors have 4:3 ratios.

Very true, but I have found a lot of useful fixes for that here: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/
