Quake in wide screen

[paker]

I'm looking at a Samsung 244T wide screen monitor to buy in the near future. Darkplaces video options has a setting for 1920 x 1200, which is the 244T's native resolution. I was wondering if anyone here played Quake in wide screen format on any other wide screen monitor, and how well it looks compared to 4:3 monitors.

it basically stretches your quake is all,and quake players are gonna be fat-asses. when I used a desktop resolution of 1200x900 , my quake in window'd mode would make players all tall looking and shit because of the WS desktop resolution , but I dunno Qrack might run okay or even darkplaces, it depends on if the widescreen modes in either engine support it properly with black bars

When I get home I'll upload a SS. I run mine in 1680x1050. Looks great without any problems.

Dell 24' here. DP looks absolutely fantastic in native 1920x1200!
(GeForce 7900 GTX 512 helps a bit though...)

I think "native" is the keyword here.

If you would try anything other than the "native" resolution it would look as Mindz stated earlier.

I got a 20.1 widescreen a few months back, I could never go back to my old 4:3 17"

I run Qrack in 1280x720 with a fov of 100. Looks awesome, here's an ss:

Awsome. I gotta get me a faster computer with a widescreen moniter. Quake won't make a difference but the new games lag like hell. Just got the new America's Army and I get like 10 FPS on the menu screens lol.

I asked this in http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/, but never got an answer. Thanks all! BTW http://www.widescreengamingforum.com is a good source for settings up for many games for wide screen monitors..

Sorry for no screen shots this morning. It was late last night and I crashed. I'll try to get you a couple in the near future.
