Default Re: Widescreen Monitor Questions Concerning Games

LCD's look best at their native resolution, which in this case is 1680x1050. It's usually less noticible with graphics, but text will usually look especially bad.

On a side note, are you sure it's 1680, it should be 1600.

4. You got the better of the two. For LCD monitors you always want the lowest(=fastest) response time, and the highest contrast ratio. That said, the contrast ratio always matters, but the response time is more important in 'high speed' games, like FPS's, racing, etc. In TBS games it's a little less important.
