PC to hd lcd tv

[Scooby_Doo]

ok long story short i will be getting a 40" hd tv that won't be finding its way into the living room. Now i am deciding if maybe a PC monitor?.. forget the practicallity of having this hude monstrosity in front of you. Now my question will my pc graphics card (8800gtx) be able to out put to said screen with a native rez of 1366x768 or will it just be close? and do pc games support that rez. Just to know before i go to the trouble of trying it out and then it looks all lame.

I can not remember seeing 1366x768 as an option in a game.. ever..and I tend to waste plenty time on games

 

[Scooby_Doo]

yeah as well but was wondering if maybe that was just windows hiding all the options that won't work with the screen attached.

Even if a game doesn't support a resolution, almost all games have SOME sort of hack that you can do. See: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/

will have a look, thanks feo.

My pleasure.

Oh and the 8800gtx will have no problems outputting 1366x768, it will support any resolution up to 2560x1600.

lol. My VAIO has that resolution (11" lappie, onboard intel graphics)
Games scale perfect.

Don't Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike Source (well, all the Steam engine games) support 1366x768?

 

[Scooby_Doo]

You mean Source Engine games, steam is just that silly application...
