So you thought you'd give it back by connecting resolution with size, ya?

Well, if you can find a 15" LCD that has 1600 x 1200 as native resolution, let me know. ;):p

Ah. I'm sorry :)
I guess I just think of 15" LCDs as being old. Mostly due to my experiences in building an LCD+OHP projector 'on the cheap'. It was fun but the compaq LCD screen we had must've had a response time that could be measured in the seconds rather than miliseconds.

Seconds? Ouch. :p
Mine is 12 ms if I remember correctly, I see slight ghosting when in Windows but it seems to get less noticable in games. I like small monitors because I'm so nearsighted and need to be close to the monitor. :)

You see ghosting in Windows?!
That's pretty crazy :)

But as far as I know there is no way to run SS2 properly windowed without modifying the game's code (yes, in it's compiled form). :sweat:
You can run it windowed via ShockEd, but unfortunately only in software rendering, which does not work very well. (This is a major understatement.)

Widescreen LCDs for the lose, since the game supports 1600 x 1200.

And 1280x1024...
And 1024x768 for the really old LCDs.
But not, unfortunately, 1400x1050. :(

My laptop's 14.1" has 1400x1050. Do I win something? ;)

You win a cyber-cookie. :cool:

Indeed. Damn it's seeming lack of widescreen support :*(

I can understand older games like SS2, but even modern games lack decent support for it. :erm:
Well, at least the widescreen settings are often hard to reach for the average user.

1400x1050 isn't widescreen. It's 4:3 aspect ratio.
