Do you have your monitor drivers installed?

What connection type are you using?

Lastly, select the 16:10 aspect ratio...(not sure if this is what allows that resolution or if that has no effect on the available resolutions)

CSS on the Viewsonic VX2025 = awesome

BF2 = cool...stupid EA/Dice not properly supporting it

Far Cry = Cool, but a pain to get it going right

Americas Army - Fat people galore! bah. What do I expect from a free game?


Those are the only onees I have tried thus far...and all I can say, is I love my VX2025...its awesome. I'll never go with a 5:4/4:3 monitor again (if I can avoid it)

I just got a 19" widescreen Hyundai ImageQuest and it's amazing. :) It's a hassle to set some games up for widescreen resolutions, like SWAT 4 and Battlefield 2, but it's worth it not to have tunnel vision.
