Widescreen Gaming Forum

I am looking at the BenQ at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824014139 and the recommended resolution is 1680 x 1050. My video card, a 7950GX2, has at most 1600 x 1200.

What exactly does the difference mean as far as playing games?

Also what is the native resolution for the BenQ.

Also there are two models, a FP222W and a FP222WH.
The difference with the 'H' model is it has something to do with wide screen.

Thanks.

Your 7950GX2 will do 1680x1050 no problem when you have a screen that will do that res ... :wink:
Resolutions that you see at the moment will be for your current screen.

The FP222WH has a HDMI input the FP222W doesn't.
