Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hello,

I got my Dell 2005FPW todayand tried to play EASports Fifa 2005.
Even if i choose 1280x1024 in the game the Dell only displays 1024x768.
This happens both with DVI and analog connection.

Did anyone of you encounter the same problem and found a solution ?

Best regards

thats because 1280x1024 isnt a widescreen format. the only widescreen format between 800 x 600 and 1280x1024 is 1280x768 and 1280x 800 which isnt readily suported in most games

Hmm, thanks for your answer,

1024x768 isn´t widescreen too. 1280x1024 works with other games like a charm (with black bars on the right and the left side).

So this seems to be a problem of easports games ?

It seems that I´m not the only one with this problem.
I´ve read about it in german boards.
Only TFTs seem to be affected.
There is no fix for it yet.
