Question:
1440x900 resolutuon in games
Hi have a Dell Inspiron 9300, and my native resolution is 1440x900. The problem is the resolution looks best in 1440x900 but games such as CS:source and Battlefield 2 only let me get the resolution to 1152x760 (or something similtar to that) Is there a way to make the resolution in these games 1440x900 or is it not possible becuaes the game doesn't support it? Keep in mind I have also downloaded the 77.72 driver from laptopdrivers2go.com and it's installed. ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

In HL2 and CSS, under video options, select "Widescreen 16:10" that will allow you to select the 1440x990.
A lot of games dont suppor that resolution, sorry. But I know there is a patch for DOOM3, and Far Cry can use it properly as well.
Good luck.

At least you can use some form of widescreen. BF2 wont let my A690 run any widescreen res at all.

HEy guys, i hanvt revieved my notebook yet, but just wanted to ask...does it really matter with the wide screen resolution? I mean does the game look bad or something when it runs in a lower resolution? What exactly happens when the game deos not run in the screens native resolution? Thanks!!

Re: 1440x900 resolutuon in games
The higher the resolution the better quality the graphics will be. The lower the resolution the worse the graphics will be. However running a game at a higher resolution takes alot more computing power than running on a lower resolution. Which is why many people complain of choppy gameplay when running on a high resolution. When running at a native resolution such as mine (1440x900) you get a balance between graphics and functionality due to the fact that your running the game on the resolution that your notebook is intended to run on.

but many people run cs 1.6 and cs:source at low res to make no lag with computer/ping. so, it depends on the game

I would like to note that BattleField 2 can be run at 1440x900 (or any other widescreen resolution) by add "+fullscreen 1 +szx 1440 +szy 900" (no quotes) to the end of the "Target" line. To use other non-standard reslutions, replace "1440" and "900" with your respective width and height.

How does widescreen work in a game? Does it add more to the visual field, or does it just take a 4:3 image and squash it into a widescreen ratio?
