1680 x 1050

With the 4850 card I now have, can crank up details and use both 4 x AA and 8 x AA, hardly any performance hit going to 8x.

I once thought widescreen was a load of rubbish...until I bought one.

that tends to be everyones opinion of widescreen, at first :D
 
I usually game at 1440x900 since that's the highest my monitor supports. And yes, I thought widescreen was a bunch of bull until I got one as well.
 
Yeah I almost resisted getting widescreen too, but the deal on my monitor was too good to pass up, so I took the plunge. And man am I glad I did........

same here. well...i didn't exactly think they were "bull"....but i figured 'wtf do i need that for?'

at the time i didn't even have an lcd. once i gamed on an lcd and it happened to be widescreen i wondered how i did without both for as long as i did...

funny...on a side note when i was researching which lcd and what size / resolution i wanted for myself i came across an old thread from one board or another from '05 and i guess 20in wides were the standard then. 19in came after it seems, and posters on the board were like "19in are coming out? that will never work i would NEVER game or do anything on a 19in. 20in and up or nothing. and 1440X900 and the weird aspect ratio? these are going to fail at any price"

haha suckers.....


EDIT: oh, and as said earlier in the thread....i'm 1440X900
