How does a widescreen monitor work for PC gaming, well?
« 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?
