Does "widescreen video resolutions" mean HDTV resolutions? Cause 16:10 widescreen resolutions have been supported since the beta years ago.

I was wondering the same myself. WoW has supported 1680x1050 for a long time.

No worries ... 8)

It's a shame it doesn't seem to making any difference.

It doesn't make any difference because it was always working in the first place. :)

I can't seem to find anyting over in the official forum yet, I had the feeling that they were perhaps supporting additional resolutions or something, or ironed out bugs with certin graphics cards/drivers. There is no easy way to search "widescreen" over on that forum anyway.

Someone posted a while back, with screens to back up his claim, that WoW didn't really implement widescreen in a proper way. I think he said that the FOV was unchanged and that the view was stretched horizontally?

Not sure if this was the case, since I cancelled my wow account ages ago. Perhaps someone could look into this further?

Strech, it's bulls***. The FoV always has been fine. It's a bit hard to see in screenshots because when you switch from 4:3 to 16:10 the player camera zooms in a tiny bit. You can zoom back a bit again to make it obvious that the FoV's changed.
