I use the fixed aspect ratio scaling and like it on my LG 20.1" Widescreen (cheaper then the Dell and the same manufacturer). The little black lines on the side become less noticeable as you get into the game more.

If you have a ATI card or more questions, check out www.tweakguides.com NVIDIA and ATI guides for more info. I highly recommend the information offered there. (I am not associated in anyway with them btw.)


Many thanks, i will take a look that....

I play several games just below the native resolution just for that reason. You will want to leave your desktop at the native resolution.



I cant understand this, if the pixels number is not coincident with the screen dot number, it means you must to use more than a dot for each pixel, is may be not bad if the relation is an entire number....but if not, you need a dot plus a fraction of dot for a pixel....

This do not cause a quality degradation intot he image ?


Many, many thanks for your help
