EPTJust wondering since my 5770 can only support 1680x1050 and I'm wondering if I'm handicapping myself in some way by doing so.
Does resolution matter (gameplay-wise) for SCII?

In the end, it doesn't affect your play as much as you would think. edit: wait, I might be entirely wrong. | ||

 has the largest field of view. To get this you probably would need a new monitor. | ||

You want to buy the one that supports 16 : 9 aspect ration, I think that resolution doesn't matter much in this case. Just buy 16 : 9 (standard) and pick the one that supports the resolution you want to play in or even higher than that and your golden.  edit: ^ beat me to it >< | ||

Hell, I actually use 5:4 myself so I'll have even less on screen than any of the images in that gif. Wow where did you get that screen? O.o Sounds like a super old battery driven TV or something like that | ||

I usually play with 16 but sometimes also with a 5:4 and its really not a problem.16:10 to 16 isn't even much of a difference in terms of space.But for an LCD you usually want to use the native resolution. With most screens it looks a little bit off when you use a different resolution and also tasking in and out takes more time. | ||

Why would 16:10 be SMALLER than 16 ?16x10 > 16x9 ...? | ||
