==Method==
You described the screen change here. What is the method?
==Singleplayer Anomalies==
These don't sound like they'd affect gameplay. Is that correct?
==Cut Scenes==
Can you provide screenshots here?

(fundamentally depends on the method)

Method is Native (edited)
The anomalies don't affect gameplay at all. The second you click the mouse the popups go away.
I'll see if i can get cut-scene screenshots after my computer finishes encoding all these movies :?

Going back through some old stuff. I tested the demo through 2560x1600.

I re-shot all of the screenshots which Imageshack had delightedly decided to obliterate, plus added ones of the opening cut scenes.
Cranky, could we get a CCE with all of the resolutions tested (per Ibrin's note) with the exception of the triplehead ones?
Also, I would appreciate it if someone would take screenshots of surround resolutions, as SoftTH is apparently incompatible and crashes the game on startup.

I need to have each resolution confirmed individually. Just saying "I tested them all" is an easy way to overlook one.
Also, if SoftTH isn't working, you could use faux-TH resolutions.

Would I not need a monitor that supports a resolution greater than 1440x900 for that though?

Try something like 1440x600. It's not the same AR as TH, but it's wide enough to demonstrate the effects of ultra-width for all intents and purposes I've seen so far.

No dice, the game doesn't see it.

Minor outstanding DR omissions:
Are 1680x1050, 1920x1080, and 1920x1200 supported?
Vert - is a consequential flaw.

It runs fine at 1920x1080, I can't test the other resolutions though
