Hi, this is my first post 'cause I'm a widescreen newbie since last month I changed my old 15" HP for a new 22" Dell and I have a little problem with Half Life 2. I can get it to work fine in 1680x1050 fulscreen, it gets strechted,this also occurs with the other resolutions. But if I choose "run in a window" it looks fine. Thats why I ask for your help, if there is something I´m missing. Could it be that I didn't reinstalled the game after the monitor change?. Thx in advance. |

Source games should have an 'Aspect Ratio' drop down box in the 'Video Options' menu, switching it to 16:10 should correct the stretching. |

Thanks Rage but it doesn't fix the problem neither. I tried all choices with no results at all, I'll try reinstalling the game. |

Does this happen with any other games? |

What resolution are you running your desktop at? What kind of cable do you use to drive your monitor? Have you installed the drivers? |

Make sure there's no resolution already specified in the game's launch options, that might override whatever you choose in the main options. It may also be a driver problem... which graphics card and driver set are you using? |

Ok my desktop resolution is 1680x1050, my card is an oldie NVIDIA GeForce FX5200 with latest drivers. The cable is a standard vga (The card doesn´t come with DVI plug) and the other games run great (wahrhammer DOW, Warcraft III, PES 6,etc). Thxs. |

You really need to upgrade your card if you want to use a nice monitor like that... |

Bump: looking at the detailed report here, apparently HL2 can be set to any widescreen resolution, but when I try, the only 16:10 resolutions I can choose are 1680x1050 and 1920x1200 (my monitor's native res), and the only 16:9 resolution available is 1600x900. No sign of 1280x800, 1440x900 etc. Is this a bug or my own screwup? (Fully updated copy of the game) |

Can your monitor do those resolutions in desktop ? |
