A widescreen page isn't stretched the way you might think it is, GameKisser, so...

 

Here's a comparison. The 24" widescreen VS. a standard 4:3 running at 1024 x 768

Keep in mind that this how the page looks before any side to side scrolling on the low res,

and that this is the same photo, from the same thread in each screen capture.

 

24" HD widescreen @ 1920 x 1200

 

20.1" 4:3 @ 1024 x 768

 

If whatever you have is great for you, then so be it, but those who don't keep up with new tech

will begin to develop only more issues like this. I'm not here to judge, these are just the facts.

 

My intention is to make those who complain about large photos aware of the fact that the reason

they can't see it all is a problem with their antiquated equipment, not an indiscretionary poster.

Indeed. The larger, the better. I'm not going back to something under 27" and in retrospect I should have went and bought the 30" instead.

 

Internet, games and movies at a higher res are simply pure win. (you have to invest more $$$ in your GPU though).

I hear all of that, Athena. I got my 24" almost a year ago now. It only took about 2 months before I was kicking myself for not waiting for the 30". But... it may be blessing in disguise because for a while now, I've been running a dual monitor set-up. (24" widescreen / 20.1" 4:3), and now I want more. I'm thinking now, I'll get another 24" since they're coming way down, and a 30", and run a triple set-up with the 30" in the middle, and a 24" on each side. Hell, yeah! biggrin.gif

Let's get back on-topic colgate.gif ?

 

I compared Vice City and GTA4 and you can really see the change in tone! I also noticed that some of you guys get really annoyed if somebody ( moto_whistle.gif ) stretches the page so I tried to keep'em nice and small this time around wink.gif .

Yeah let's get back on topic smile.gif

Great pictures and cookie.gif for not stretching the page. Still someone did even if there's a resizer at the first post dozingoff.gif People are lazy

 

werenotfugazi i think people should resize to something that don't stretches 1280x1024 as that is the most used resolution.

 

Many people are really good now so cookie.gifcookie.gifcookie.gif to them, but there is just 1 that has to stretch the page...

It's good but I posted the exact same comparison before confused.gif . You can see it on page 4.

 

It would be appreciated if the ones who post comparisons would check the previous comparisons

because that way we don't have to watch the same ones over and over again monocle.gif .

 

 

EDIT: It's not exactly the same one so nevermind smile.gif

There's just so much more detail put into that IV's building that it's almost staggering.

For all the carrying on about the resizing of pictures... I personally find it waaayy more annoying that people quote the poster above them including their pictures and put a "nice one icon14.gif " or something else less meaningful at the bottom.. sure it may have been a nice pic but do we really need to repeat it 3 times??
