Screen resolution question

Postby 757200ba » Sun Jan 03, 2010 11:25 pm

Hello.
I was just offered a 22'" screen  :D :P, WOW what a diference, for someone that came from a 17" crt.Its WOOOOW.
My question is?
Now i have it on 1280*768 - 32. I have a 9800 gt 512.
What is the best resolution to have so i can take full advantage on FS9.
Now all looks streached and bright (WOOOOOOOOOW AMAZING )but is there any resolution that is best for this?

This are some of the specs:

1920*1080 resolution
16:9
5ms
Dynamic Contrast Ratio (DCR) ???
60000:1

Many thanks
WOOOOOOOOOOW FS9 ITS ALIVE!!!!!!! :) ;) :D ;D :P

I had my 22" running 1680x1050
(or something near that)
I think it was 16:10 though, not 16:9

I would do the max resolution your monitor and graphics card can handle.

LCDs have something called native resolution... that is the resolution at which one image pixel occupies one physical pixel. All other resolutions have to be interpolated by the monitor and usually are a little blurry.

You said your screen  has a resolution of 1920x1080, so I would set the windows res to that for best results

I changed to 1920*1080*32

IT LOOKS WONDERFUL!!!!

Now i know its asking too much but, do you advise any more tweaks , like any modification on cfg or even textures ( im using REX 2004 and Ground environment Pro).
I never had FS2004 looking and running so good.
There is one thing though, everytime i end FS, there is always one messge saying that , there was an error type , do you want to restart FS.Do you think i better install FS again?

All your opinions are welcome.
Many thanks

That's probably just a bug.... I get it with some games in Windows 7 also....




I don't know of any tweaks that are needed. Remember that 1920*1080 is much more demanding than what a 17" CRT would run at.... so you might have to change some settings for it to be more smooth (I don't know which).
