I've just a 19" LCD wide screen using a GeForce 7800 GS 256 MB AGP with win XP Home.

At first the monitor autoed the res to 1024 X 768 ( but FULL screen ) and everything looked horrible, then I looked at the option screen under resolutions and 1360 x 768 85.48 with different HZ were highlighted so I took the 75 HZ and it is the best for both my graphic card and monitor. Not perfect but good enough.

Here are a few screens taken just for these shots at submarine school.



As you can see it starts out at the normal SH res at 1024 X 768 and the computer set it this way and at 60 HZ, then when I scrolled down a little is when I saw the 1360 X 768's with diff HZ were highlighted. Now why didn't the computer set it this way in the first place?
I tried ( for the heck of it ) all the res listed and this one at 1360 X 768 is the best for my rig.

Round objects are a little squished but I can live with it.
But the entire 19" screen is full for the game.



Sorry for the large two pics on top, I sized the others down.




Game loading screen.




Oh jeez, aircraft and ships spotted already..oh that's right its just school craft.




Dials aren't to egg shaped and I can live with it.








So here is the old girl taking the day off not to far from the beach.

I like my 19" monitor a lot and it sure beats my old bulky 17" CRT.
