Once we went widescreen, the vertical resolution seemed to disappear. I've got a 19" 1280x1024 that was pretty common place just a few years ago.
Looks like if you want anything higher than 1080, be prepared to spend at least $300:

I picked up a PC version and have played for about 2 hours. My PC has what I guess is an older video card, a Radeon 4850 that's lasted well (for me) for a few years now. I'm playing at high resolution which is what the game decided I should run at on an LCD 19something x1050i think which is what I have.
I have no problems, there aren't any bugs I care about so far, and frankly I think there's almost too much eye candy for me. As with all games it takes me a little while to adjust to the controls and get to the vibe - like every video game, right?
Once I get a handle on the interface I hope and guess I'll pour an embarrassing number of hours in to it over the next few years. I really enjoyed Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Fallout NV, so I'm guessing this new engine will carry it's weight.

Yup. What happened was prior to flat screens the monitor industry and the tv industry wre completely seperate due to the high dot pitch used on computers. Today many computer monitor manufacturers have jumped ship and now make tvs (see vizio, acer, ect...) sure they still, technically sell computer monitors but all they do is take the exact same models they are selling as tvs, remove the tuner and sell it as a computer monitor because it already has hdmi and rgb inputs. It's also virtually impossible to get a 4:3 monitor either, which is really annoying for arcade cabinets.

But I'll wait to fire it up until I wake up in the morning just to make sure everything's running fine when I finally get a chance to play it some time this weekend.

Sweet. Be sure to tell us what you think of it after you play a bit. I've been out of the console loop for a while so if I want this game I've either got to get a ps3/360 or a better computer and go from there. So, it'll be expensive whichever road is taken. I'm leaning toward the PS3 sign though. :dunno

Accumulated some 5 hours of game play this weekend. Not really sure where the time went! Crap just thinking about that makes me think about how many little sidequests I need to go get done.
Yep, this is definitely going to be a game to 'spend the winter' with.
