Yeah! New monitor makes BC look right again!
« on: April 30, 2010, 10:13:23 PM »
My MAG 22" monitor finally died after a long and squealy battle with something.  Replaced it with 24" Asus that has aspect control which means I can set it to a 4:3 aspect ratio when playing games.  Finally BC looks right again.  Funny though, I think I got really used to the stretched look. :funny

Just get KM beta and play the game in wide screen :P
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

yup, ASUS are good monitors, lap tops, gfx, mo-bos and etc. Soon and I think to buy or 26" ASUS or 24"-26" LED monitor by LG. If the money arent sufficiant, LCD for LG. But I dont know if LG has to make the picture 4:3. Here in Bulgaria, the prizes of the both monufacturars are almoast equal.
Congratulations DJ, live long and prosper to your new monitor :thumbsup:

mmm I'm dissapointed with my HP monitor it's quite crappy, colors, contrast etc. are brilliant but I don't have red anymore :( thus I rarely use my desktop these days so I'm saving some money for new monitor :D already looking for some 22" Eizo or 24" Asus ;)
