Title: How does a widescreen monitor work for PC gaming, well?
Post by: mhermann on May 31, 2006, 09:29:40 am

I am looking at getting a widescreen monitor to use for my next cab because I can get a fairly large size fairly cheap. But I was wondering who this would look on PC games as they were not made for wide screen presentation. I am assuming they would just stretch, but I am not sure how that would look.

Any thouhgts?

i'm happier using a 26" LCD  than a 19" LCD that i ended up putting in a cabinet
