My 26" 16/10 (1920x1200) T260HD is just TN and it was not significantly more expensive than rest 16/9 on the market at the time of similar size... So do shop around, if you find cheap old stock of TN 16/10 monitors they are great. Newer is not necessarily better at least in displays, it might be just cheaper... Entry level LED backlighting (although definitely thinner) is not superior to CCFL, etc... And once again, 16/10 displays can display letterboxed 16/9 image with small black bars (i.e. for SC2). 16/9 monitors will newer have 1200+ vertical resolution of 16/10 displays for general usage... My PC is hooked up to 16/10 display and 16/9 LCD TV (in another room). When I want to mirror the image (i.e. watch GOM on big screen), monitor switches to 1080p 16/9. Boy, the picture does look noticeably smaller.... And since id doubles as TV sometimes, with 16/10 i use bigger portion of the screen if I watch 4/3 program, etc... Considering the current results of the poll, i am surprised... But than again now I understand the manufacturers going for 16/9 which is cheaper to produce (they are smaller) for the same amount of inches your *think* you are buying... | ||

Or simply allow the user to choose zoom and set the AR like they want. That screenshot isn't biased, it just shows that blizzard is too lazy to implement good support for different aspect ratios. You are right, the best solution would be to allow the user to select the FoV they want. Do any games implement something like this? I've personally never seen it before. | ||

I wish youtube would allow 1200p so I don't need to resize my gaming res for recording though t_t. | ||
