Title: Widescreen Monitor with SFC2/SFC3
Post by: Lurien on February 27, 2004, 11:52:58 am
I am looking at laptops, many with Widescreen monitors. I am wondering if anyone knows what SFC2/SFC3 look like on them? Does the image just get stretched or is there a proper driver??? Any advice would help, thanks.

I play on a 17 inch widescreen Samsung (172W), as long as your graphic card supoprts to widescreen resolution (likely 1280 x 768 as 1900x1200  is very rare and not worth it on a 17inch screen). I have an ATI 9700 AIW Radeon with the latest Catalyst drivers.

BTW, I am gettng a 30" Samsung to hang on my study wall that supports the 1280x768 resoultion.  I am surprised there is no problem with burn-in on VSFTie's plasma screen.

Hey!  I took that picture!  I don't mind you posting links to my site, but I'd rather you didn't post a direct link to an image on my website.  That's just stealing bandwidth.  If you include a link to the page that the photo came from, then that's OK.  It's  here , if anyone fancies taking a look...

Thanks!  There are a lot of photographs, aren't there.  That's what digital cameras do to you...

I'm not really that ticked - it's a bit of free advertising for my site, after all
