Will Widescreen Aspect Ratio Work OK?

Konovalov · 02-05-07, 09:18 AM

I consider this as motivation to get myself a TFT widescreen in 2007 to complete my new system build.

There is a picture from the Hamburg press event showing SH4 on a widescreen monitor without any apparant stretching of the image, so it seems that it'll work fine with our widescreen monitors.

Yep, very good thing indeed.

Thanks for that image. I'm more hopeful than ever that 16:10 aspect ratio resolutions will in fact be natively supported. After seeing all the recent screenshots, if ever there was a title made to be enjoyed on a widescreen, SH4 is definitely it.

Isn't widescreen 16:9?

I think PC widescreen, ie 1680x1050 and all that is 16:10

Yes, 16:9 aspect ratios are what you find on widescreen TVs. Although you can find the odd laptop/desktop LCD with a 16:9 resolution, they're the exception, not the norm.
