Running OP on a widescreen laptop
« on: May 27, 2005, 04:38:08 pm »
just got a new laptop with a 15.4' wide screen . ..

http://www.sagernotebook.com/pages/notebooks/product2.cfm?ProductType=3880&SubType=V

Any way, 1024x768,  1280x1024 looks wierd, like it was strecthed horizontally.  other that the lack of symetray, it looks incredible.

Any idea?  Tips?   Tricks?

I've got a 17.1" screen on my laptop and run it at 1162x864 ... picture looks about the same as my desktop 19" monitor.

I have to run OP windowed at 1024 x 768 on my 15.4 inch widescreen laptop.  That was my solution.

2G DDR2 RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3
