Will Widescreen Aspect Ratio Work OK? - Page 2

Isn't widescreen 16:9?

Boris · 02-20-07, 04:16 PM

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.

Want a nice looking widescreen, check out the 27 inch (I think that's the size) Gateway. What a picture! It certainly isn't cheap...but not much is nowadays (relatively speaking, of course). lol

I wonder that the response time is.

gawd, now I have a pickle.:hmm:

Play SH4 on a 40" widescreen sony bravia using DX9 graphics, or on my Dx10 clad pc with a 4:3 19" monitor..............arrrgggjjjj.
I need to get at least a 22" monitor I think............ more hardware expenditure.

I'd go with the PC. Fast PC with smooth FPS > Big screen with slower hardware.

do i detect some anti console in your sentence?

my pc is certainly slower than my 360, its a 3000 sempron, however it does have support for SSE3 I will have you know :rotfl:

Do we know yet if the Res will go up to 1920x1200?

flintlock · 02-21-07, 12:01 PM

If SH4 supports widescreen resolutions natively, I'd image it would allow for 2560x1600, including everything lower (1920x1200, 1680x1050 and smaller).

I just noticed this on Ubi's site under the Interface Dev Diary section.

Here's an excerpt on widescreen support:

Quote:

The interface is very scalable and can run in any resolution greater than 1024*768. Basically, the available screen resolutions reported by DirectX are only a restriction to the game. This means the game can run at any aspect ratio, on any monitor: 4:3, 5:4, 16:9, 16:10 etc. So, go ahead and buy the HD monitor you want, Silent Hunter 4 will make full use of it. We tested the game and looks great on 37" HD monitors.

Note: Emphasis is mine.

Fantastic news indeed!
