This is a very annoying problem in many "old" games

My current LG 1915 TFT runs at 1280x1024 with an aspect ratio of 5:4 instead of the previously common 4:3, and SH3 is stretched vertically

Looks really weird. But with SH4 the 5:4 screen mode gives errors in stadimeters ranges

, so I have decided to move to a very different style of monitor: I', going to buy a flat TV that can be used for a PC. Why? Because I can get all quality I have in a normal monitor (If it has a good maximum resolution and DVI plug), and I can also with a simple key in the remote control black out the sides of the screen and see it as 4:3, at the expense of losing some size.

Plus I can watch TV in the bedroom

I have already taken a look at Samsung models, there are some specifically created as "TV for PCs". I recommend anyone to try that route, as it allows playing games that accept widescreen format and also older games.
