Well what I was getting at with the wide screens. Is they tend to act like a wide screen TV and stretch things like desktop background images. Ever seen Windows Home Desktop on a wide screen LCD. Looks awful and distorted on the XP Home logo bit. For me there like the wide screen TV's. the display just look weird and not right in wide screen. Thats why i personally would avoid them and stay with a standard square type LCD. plus not all games support them proper and look all stretched and strange
There is no stretching on TFT's going on. It are just additional pixels - a bigger desktop. At least in native.Comment

When I had a wide screen monitor before this (1 month old and gave it away to my dad). When I had the XP Home desktop as my image with the XP Logo on the right. It was out of proportion and did look stretched. So maybe as a general rule is doesn't like you say. But in some cases it can. Even my dad spotted it straight away and said that logo looks funny and fuzzy (stretched). Which it doesn't do on a normal none wide screen monitor. And yes the res was setup fine and so was the refresh rate...
I'm not saying it stretches everything, but they can look weird with some stuff though.Last edited by MRGTB; Thu 17 Aug '06, 12:27pm.Comment
