Download fraps and watch your FPS.

Sure wish they would get to it. I run my monitor at 1600x1200 and it stretch's :( Though the FOV is the same as anyone elses monitor running at various sizes (Compared it at a LAN last week)

As posted above I set my autoexec.cft file and have 1920x1200 running great (At least it looks great to me).

I have played with turning v-sync on and off. I play some really good MP guys and may have to turn it way down to keep up to some of those really good players! :roll:

Works great by my frames are sure down from 16x12! In the two print screens I got 44 and then 22 under heaving fighting.

Gravelayer,
Go back up this topic a ways and click on the Doom3 link that was posted for the widescreen solution. Quake 4 and Doom 3 have the same game engine so the widescreen fix works.

I also have a Dell 2405 FPW and I am playing Quake 4 in 1920 x 1200 with an FOV of 100. Works great. All ...

Has anyone gotten 1920x1200 working? I emailed activision on this yesterday and there is there response:

Hi, sorry you are having problems with Quake 4.

That is an unsupported resolution. The game will not play at that resolution level ...

Yes .... unfortunately ... :(
So I will stay with 16x12 as its AWESOME anyway! :lol:

You need to set 1920x1200 not 1900. It works perfectly fine for me.

Will do but there will still be the problem of part of the game screen missing, correct?

So your running what screen size on BF2?

OK got my 2405FPW the other day. I pretty much play on BF2. I set BF2 to 1600x1200 and fired it up.
Game looks great and the entire screen is filled. For some reason I assumed there would be black edges on the screen at this size.
I am VERY happy I bought this monitor!!

In trying to set ...
