Can you believe I recently actually bought a new CRT, instead of LCD?  1280*1024/1280*960 is pretty much todays standard.

 I can't believe you paid money for a CRT! Was it a specific size or the response time that was the requirement? If you really needed one I have a CLOSET full of CRT displays... though shipping those heavy beasts was always a real b***h!

Actually a good CRT monitor beats the crap out of any LCD when it comes to visual quality. The only reason that i own an LCD myself is the size and weight of a 20"+ CRT.

 Its about color correctness, contrast and the option of going to any resolution I want without drawbacks. Run desktop and most games at 1280*960, but older games like Dangerous Waters at 1600*1200. LCDs are stuck at their native res unless you're willing to accept the drawbacks of scaling. Being a perfectionist, that ain't gonna happen. * trying to make sense of the LCD market is a nightmare, with all the different panel types, varying standards for dot pitch, false brightness and contrast specs because they are artificially boosted with some questionable technique, etc. Figured I'd just stick with what I know works.

The OP needs to understand that Ubisoft makes their PC games to sell to the guy who buys a $600 system at Walmart or Best Buy.
The kind of hard core gamer/subsimmer that you find on a forum like this represents a very small percentage of total sales. Ubisoft needs this game to be playable and enjoyable on a system with 2GIGs of RAM, a decent mid range 512MB video card, and a decent mid range duo core processor. 1280 X 1084 is perfectly fine for a required res for the game. |
