Hi everyone, I have been deciding on a new monitor for quite some time now. I originally wanted the Samsung T260 25.5" 16x10 monitor but it is currently unavailable in Australia now so I am looking for something else.
I notice that the market is flooded with 16x9 monitors now which brings me to my question:
Is 16x10 still the main resolution that PC game developers design their games at? I play mostly FPS and racing games and I remember there was an issue with Far Cry 2 when being cropped to 16x9. Anyone have any information on this? Sources or links from developers and designers would be good if you do decide to throw any information my way.
Also I believe 16x10 is still better for browsing and viewing images too.
I am having a hard time choosing a 16x10 monitor now, I am looking for something in the 24.5"~28" range as I am currently using a Samsung 2232BW 16x10 1680x1050 monitor, I love it but I've sadly outgrown it as I watch lots of anime and some TV shows on my PC and don't game as much as I used to. Believe it or not I got twelve unfinished games at the moment!
Cheers!
