guys, have a question I have only one crt 19" 4x3 monitor :( but anyway think it is possible to run a surround on it - just set the screen resolution to 1920x1440 and with the help of some program choose the lowest surround resolution - 1920x480 then it would be possible to try it just on a single mon. in a form of narrow strip in the middle of the screen :cry: but anyway now a question itself - does such program exist and where can i download it? maybe somebody tried it? |

1. You wouldn't need a special program to do that. All you would need are A) a monitor that supports a resolution 1920 pixels wide or greater and B) a game that supports 1920x480. You may have to add 1920x480 as a custom Windows resolution first. 2. I doubt a 19" CRT supports the require 1920-pixel horizontal resolution. My 21" CRTs have a max res of 1800x1440, so I would bet your 3. 1920x480 on a single 5:4 or 4:3 screen looks awful and really wouldn't give you a good idea of what gaming in triplehead is really like. I see that image all the time when editing triplehead screenshots on a single monitor. |
