Widescreen Gaming Forum

the green light coming off of your computer is sick!

most of those games have outlived their major online playtime anyway

but EA still blows

yeah i know doug

i plan on getting a new set here in a few days for my b-day anyway
the i will mount them accordingly, don't know if i am going to keep the new setup or revert back to the old way......:(

here's my original setup


the i decided to change it around a bit



which do you like better?

i'm pretty slow and methodical, so........ ymmv, but i think i got a litlle over 22 hrs

i have now played the full prey game and i must say that i am very pleased with the game

it had some good ideas executed pretty well imho, and the tempo of the game played out nicely, and the story was weird but worked in this case imho

i hope it is in widescreen, but knowing EA
i highly doubt it!

16:10
1440*900
Viewsonic VA1912wb

i never look at my computere monitor from anywhere except from head-on
so...i could care less about viewing angles

but.......if we talk about television lcd's then i would highly need great viewing angles, as i sit in a variety of positions while my t.v. stays in a fixed position

the answer is.........in short YES you will see a degredation in video quality, however small, depends on the quality of the lcd in question

but i must say that a 700:1 contrast ratio is pretty good for a 19 inch tft display imho!
my Viewsonic is only 500:1 and i feel like i can easily live ...

1440*900 will be good for now, i can't complain about mine
keep it a few years and then upgrade when you REALLY upgrade that graphics card

you don't want to get a panel with 1680*1050 with the card you have now and end up have to really turn things down to play new games at a good framerate ...

this game looks REALLY good, i can only imagin the system specs required to run this game at full tilt w/40-60 fps

take the doom3 engine for what it is.......a 3-4 year old engine that was great when it first came out, but like most engines, doesn't age very well :(

i rather enjoyed NFS underground 1 & 2
and i liked most wanted a little better, the new police chase's brought back hot pursuit memories.....they also have a new one coming out called Carbon

i can't believe noone on hear has mentioned MotoGP
this is MY favorite racing series on PC, MotoGP3 ...

there sure doesn't seem to be very many native wide-screen savers

there are some really cool wallpaper sites in there

thx guys
