1440x900 is ok for me dont really need higher i only use 1280x1024 on this computer though (moms desktop). set any higher and i cant read anything anyway with out squinting. im aware i could just make text sizes bigger but i dont like my icons and toolbars that small either. idk if its too low for ya its too low.

edit: what res are you used to using anyway?

edit edit: maybe im wrong but i belive 1440x900 is the highest res you can find for a 19' widescreen. thats all i can find atleast.

hmm, yeah i'm really not sure. i use 1280x1024 on my (now dead) 19" CRT, but on my 17" widescreen laptop i use 1920x1200

if you say it's not bad, then it probably isn't.

I just bought one of these today:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824116381

Loving it so far!! No dead pixels or backlight bleeding, as far as I can tell. Oblivion at this monitor's native res. looks facking amazing! I just wish I could get 1680x1050 working at 75Hz via DVI connection.. it works fine with the analog connection, for some reason, and mouse movement just seems much "smoother".

Anyone have any suggestions?

Let me know..for now it's time to play some Condemned on this awesome thing.

thecreeper · 04-18-2006, 11:52 PM

is condemned any good? i've had a friend urging me to play it since it came out.

F a C e · 04-19-2006, 12:25 AM

Not bad, so far -- I'm enjoying it, although I'm only about an hour deep. The colors and graphics take some getting used to, and while it shares textures with F.E.A.R., the two really look nothing alike.

raublekick · 05-11-2006, 03:35 PM

I finally got Oblivion. Runs great on my laptop. I have an insane headache from playing it all day.

GT2000 · 05-11-2006, 03:38 PM

Nice..so what kind of character did you create..birthsign, job, skills?

Mike · 06-11-2006, 11:58 PM

I might get it for X360.

how the hell did i miss this!?

uh... Witchhunter, i forget the birthsign, whichever gives you Shield, marksman / magic sorta stuff. it's fun but pretty tricky because using a bow most of the time is not the best idea.

GT2000 · 06-12-2006, 01:29 PM

Yeah..my character sucks..gimped big time, or maybe I'm just not playing him right, and I didn't stick to bow very long before i got a sword from the first bitch I "murdered".
