about resolution

[Solver]

If you get a new monitor now, you're set for the future. Everything now supports 1024, and almost everything supports 800. So, if you get a monitor with 1280 max. resolution (looks OK on 17"), you're set for another decade at least.

In fact i must have a old-new 14'' monitor, because it just support from 640 to 848 resolution; so 1024 and superiors are not allowed.
By now, i got a change with scroll.exe : it still work just about 7 minutes, but by now it works a huge slower : strange isn't it ?

Solver is quite right. The standard monitor is 15", not 17"... it will take at least two three years for 15-inch monitors to disappear from the stage... And a 15" is not really suitable for anything over 800x600... the details are too small in higher resolutions...

I have a 12.1 inch monitor in 1024x768! And it is just fine!
I use 1024x768 on my 17 inch monitor too!


I think it is very poor releasing a game with a max resolution of 800x600. It just shows the lazyness of the programmers.

Can you say DiabloII, it did not even have 800, until the addon.

Hagbart : what is your monitor ? , i really want to know its mark.
i'm ok with you about "the laziness of the programers".
