Before I buy Dells bad ars Widescreen. Does GW have a widescreen setting? Or will I have to stretch it out? I have seen WOW on the Dell widescreen and it looks great. Thank you in advance!

yeah if you stretch your screen it will become distorted but I'm using a widescreen laptop with the resolution set on 1280x768

the answer is yes. I use the Dell 20" wide screen, and the resolution option inside GW has 1680 x 1050 for me to choose from. Funny thing is my window desktop doesn't offer this resolution to me.

Yes, it worked Widescreen just fine, I'm using a 24" wide. It even envelopes you more into the gameplay, IMHO =)

well there ya go

Most of them you listed are 16:10
Widescreen as i have it is 1280 * 720
heres a guide.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution

true widescreen's 16:9 are
1280×720
1920×1080

Oh and if you want; there is a program iv been hearing about called "powerstrip" to make your own resolution... so if your drivers dont support the true widescreen resolution's; Iv read/heard you can make your own...

16:10 is widespec; not true widescreen.

*sigh* geez.

I shoulda known someone was gonna get technical on the issue.

Of course you're right. LCD screens for PCs and laptops are 16:10, I know. It's quite evident when you view a DVD movie in 16:9 on your computer and see some letterboxing on the screen.

GW has native widescreen support, so no hassles.

Although for most of the games that do not, theres usually some simple hack/workaround to force it into a widescreen resolution (see widescreengamingforum.com).

Accually there is a problem with guildwars above 1280 * 1024; Iv heard of crash's and freeze's and constant lag if your Full Screened above it... thats why it was mentioned that they have it window'd and strecth it.
