 than a 4:3? because the length is longer, i was thinking, does it actually show you more stuff?if yes, why do some progamers still use prefer to use 4:3? example will be Ace in IEM finals against moon. you can see on youtube, the video which shows his final moments before the game was won. the monitor was 4:3. | ||

Advantages with 4:3, however, include: Minimap becomes larger and easier to click (good for players who prefer to jump around and switch between screens/locations). Minimap is closer to the center of your screen where your mouse pointer will stay hovering most of the time. You can mouse scroll without having to move your right hand a lot. Some players, including myself, prefer to only have to flicker the wrist for mouse movements. So 4:3 becomes more natural as you can keep your right hand in position the whole time, while the minimap becomes easier to click on. | ||

In my FPS games I use 1280/800 on a crt, widescreen resolutions do look ugly until you reduce the height on the on screen display menu itself. So it's really widescreen look on a CRT. I do this now with 1600/900 on my CRT @ reduced height and it looks really nice & basically I feel like I'm standing an extra 20 feet above my old "camera" position, seeing more of everything.. things are smaller though so the little micro bits will come, but really you can box larger things now so that control improves instantly. | ||

Actually in 16 to 10 you have the same vertical vision but less horizontal compared to 16 to 9. So with 1280*800 I see less than with 1280*720. Design failure. | ||

CounterStrike players prefer those, don't really know about Quake players, but since they are both shooters, I think they also prefer the 4:3 ratio. tbh as a cs 1.6 player the only reason play 4:3 (even on 16: 9-16:10 screens) is because the game is made to fit in that size, it's nothing much but the feel is immensely different playing quake/cs 1.6 on 4:3 compared to 16: 9-16:10 edit: lol stupid smilies | ||

It's painful going back to 4:3 monitors now. | ||

Of course my game probably won't see any improvement, but that's just my need for optimization. | ||

(Though I suppose if you had units across the entire area of your monitor, your gameplay vision would be greater on a widescreen.) | ||
