widescreen monitor owners, what resolutions do you usually play at?

[apoppin]

1680x1050 on LCD #1 . . . 1440x900 on LCD #2 at their respective native resolutions with specifics of rig in sig.
[BtW LCD #2 looks like 'No.2' *cough* in comparison]
--i use my 19" CRT from 16x12 down to 10x7 [for DX10 games]

2560x1600.

If not that, i generally don't use widescreen, as i'm not a big fan of WS really (for games).

So if i can't run 2560x1600, then i'll use 2048x1536, 1920x1440, 1600x1200, etc...

I play at 1920*1200 when I can. Some newer games are to stressful for my card though, so I've been dropping them to 1280*1024. I don't use any scaling so the image is keyholed on my monitor. It looks great, but it drops my viewable area to a bit more than 17" (it's 24"ws natively).

1680x1050 with varying dgrees of AA/AF depending on the game

8800GTS 600/1000

 

[clickynext]

I play at 1680x1050 and it looks like shit!

So I end up dropping to 640x480.

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

I play many games at 1680x1050, but for some I scale down to 1280x1024. 1024x768 just looks horrible, though (everything is incredibly aliased).

 

[zachtos]

1440x900, viewsonic19" wide

Try it without scaling sometime. Your screen size will be reduced, but it'll be at native resolution, so it'll still look good. I'd rather have a crisp small screen than a jaggy big screen. I guess it's personal preference though.

 

[Abel007]

1920x1080 if possible.

What kind of monitor do you have?

1920x1200, and annoyed as Hell that I can't get TF2 to support that resolution. I haven't played any other games yet (just got the 24" Soyo yesterday) but what is the overall best website for widescreen gamers ?

 

[techgamer]

I just bought an 8800gt so I am excited at the possibility to play at resolutions like 1680x1050 and 1920x1200. But I cant decide on a monitor to try. Should I get a good quality 22" tn panel like the samsung 226bw or a cheap 24" mva like the soyo or westy?

 

[Burpy]

I always try and play at my native resolution of 1680x1050. Crysis is the first game I had to use 1024x768 just to get it playable.

 

[ty1er]

1680x1050 on my Samsung LCD.

http://www.widescreengamingfor...ki/index.php/Main_Page is usually the one I see linked.

I'm sure it supports it. Look for a menu option for "widescreen". For HL2 and CSS you must select widescreen to get the wide options.

 

[markopolo12]

depends on the game, but i always play at native. games like COD4 i play at 1680x1050, while games like guild wars i'll hook up to my 42" TV and play at 1920x1080. i dont think i've got the graphics horsepower to play everything on the TV.

 

[chizow]

1920x1200 native first with all details and textures cranked up. Shadows and AA are the first eye-candy options to get turned down. My panel can do 1:1 pixel mapping too, so for most online FPS or games that don't have wide screen, I do 1600x1200 with bars on the side. Wide Screen tends to be a bit distracting in FPS for me. D: Can also run lower resolutions at 1:1 with bars on all sides, something I'll probably end up doing with Crysis when I get it eventually.

make it a poll, man

 

[Fadardo]

1680x1050 unless im playing crysis.

 

[dlock13]

1680x1050

 

[potato28]

1680x1050 for most, Crysis demo was playable only at 1440x900.
