Hey Guys,

I'm an RPG fan I play all the classics from Baldurs Gate etc to newer games like Oblivion.

I'm planning on buying a widecreen 20" monitor however I've read that old games may not be playable on a widescreen.

Is this the case? Will they be really streched, or will there simply be borders?

Cheers,

Daniel.

Your video drivers should have an option saying "centered timings" or "fixed aspect scaling" or "1:1 scaling", simply enable this to have borders and no stretching.

Oh I would love to play classic Diablo II in widescreen. Think of what you could accomplish as an Amazon!
