Default Widescreen mod

Just re-installed SH3+GWX, and I am a bit behind on the mods. So was wondering what a good wide screen mod would be for my 22" wide screen monitor.

Got a temporary fix, went into monitor settings and set to "stretch", not perfect but it works.

I've got my 22" screen set at 'Automatic' and it honestly looks fine.

Think I just need to get used to how it looks. Won't notice much once I am back in the hunt.

Check out the last twelve months worth of SH3 screenshots thread input from me and that is what I am viewing.

Good God Man!! In those days the 22" cost a hefty chunk of change!
Now you can get one for $99.00 plus shipping!

This one is a 24" widescreen:
Samsung_2433BW
at the time I had no idea that there would be a problem with a 16:10 aspect ratio!

And just last year I got my 28" Hanns-G for $279, or about £169.
