1280x768 weighs more than the others because for people who have this as their native res, it's either that or nothing. So to them, Sam & Max Season Two can't be played in widescreen at all.

So to them, Sam & Max Season Two can't be played in widescreen at all.

Unless of course they use 1280x720 in windowed mode.

No such luck. Windowed mode adds a couple of pixels on all sides making the horizontal width more than 1280.

It doesn't change the width of the desktop resolution. You can position the 1280x720 window inside a 1280x768 desktop without losing anything on the sides.

I just tried playing the game in windowed mode on my old 17" 1280x768 monitor. 1280x720 wasn't an option. Nor were any other WS resolutions, for that matter.

Not sure what the problem is then. I can select 1280x720 on a 19" (1280x1024 native).

I sent the following post to teltalle forums but after reading this topic I doubt the solution can be found:

I have 8800GT and 20'' LG widescreen monitor (native res 1680x1050), I also have 32'' LCD TV (native res 1360x768). A while back I added custom resolutions to my LG monitor, such as 1440x900 and 1280x800 - when I run Sam and Max on my LG monitor I can set all those resolutions, and of course my native one. All is well and good.
However, when I set my TV LCD as primary display and run Sam & Max (S2E1) I can only choose 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x720 and 1920x1080 - I cannot choose my TV's native res. When I choose 1280x720 the picture is interpolated and looks bad. I tried adding 1360x768 to custom resolutions (although it is already there as a predefined, default resolution) but it did not help. In Options I still cannot set it. This effectively prevents me from experiencing Sam & Max goodness on big screen.
This is not my TV's or video card's issue - when I run Gears of War, for example, I can set 1360x768 without any problems.
Is there any solution to this problem, i.e. forcing Sam & Max to run in a user defined resolution?

Season 2 is complete. There have been no regressions (nor improvements) in widescreen support in episodes 3, 4 and 5.
