Nice!! I assume 1600 x 1200 is the native resolution of the screen.

 

Be interesting how games running at a lower res, 8x6 or 10x7 look like for ya.

Gonna have to play exactly half 800x600 and crank the AA...

Well, thats good for frame rates!!! B) I'm sure 1600x1200 would be no problem on older games, UT, Q2, Halflife, etc.

I left Halo at 1024 and it played fine, looks the dame same except brighter :P

Some of my other games are tweaked to the res 1024, so I'll probably leave on there.

Just curious, did you notice any non-square (or different size) pixels at 1024 x 768?

 

Also, what kinda of (desktop) refresh rate can you get on the monitor at 1600 x 1200? I'm curious if it will do 85+Hz at that res.
