I played SC once at a friends house with 16

ratio.. after 10 minutes I wanted to stab myself in the eyes. I am so happy I have my good ol' 17" crt monitor from 2000.

You can change this on Nvidia Cards too - open the Nvidia Control Center, go to "Change Flatscreen Scaling" or something like that, select "Use Nvidia Scaling with fixed aspect ratio". Exact text may be different, because mine is in German. Image below, also in German though:

I seriously can't understand you guys saying that playing BW in 16: 9 is just dandy. I tried it, and I hated it! Like kinky says, the mouse moves at different speeds on the Y-axis and the X-axis and it is just terrible. I ended up buying a new comp with a graphics card that I knew had scaling options (9800GT) and now I play in 4:3 on a 16: 9 monitor.

But to answer Zyrek, I guess it is a matter of preference. You will probably quickly figure out if the stretching is acceptable to you, and if not, you can probably set your monitor to show SC in 4:3. What graphics card do you use?

Edit: 16: 9 instead of 16

I play with 16/10 on my Laptop and I had never any problem. I also have an older Laptop with 1024x768 (4x3) and sometimes I switched when my brother or his gf was on mine to watch a film or so, and it was almost the same.

all I do when I change the environment, is some "calibration". thats what I hate so much about the Nintendo Wii, mostly only Player 1 can see the pointer on the screen and has the advantage of permanent "calibration".
