[QUOTE="XaosII"][QUOTE="Demanded"]You are wrong there. Most games today are hor+ which means that the height in 16:9 and 16:10 will be the same but the width will be greater with 16:9.Demanded
They both have the same width of 1900 pixels. Im confused.
Let me explain The way most games work (about 95%) with resolutions is that EVERY SINGLE resolution sees the EXACT same amount vertically. Got that? That means that how much the resolution sees horizontally is determined by how wide the resolution is compared to the height. 1920 is wider compared to 1080 than it is compared to 1200. The Picture I posted clearly shows how the effect works. Since 16:10 view area can be fit inside a 16:9 view area, the effect is zoomed in. This results in more pixels used to form the same image, and thus providing more image clarity. (provided that you stay within the same resolution range like 1920x1080 and 1920x1200) This scaling method is called hor+. It's the same thing that causes 1920x1200 displays to see more than 1600x1200 displays (1920 is wider compared to 1200 than 1600 is to 1200 pixels). Get it? The OLD method is called vert-. It works the exact opposite of hor+. Vert- has the most FOV with aspect ratios closest to the non widescreen resolutions. Everything else is made to fit inside the non widescreen aspect ratio. With hor+, you can expand the view area forever. Every single resolution sees the same vertically. That means that a resolution of 1920x600 sees more than 1920x1200. Since 1920 pixels is wider compared to 600 than 1200 vertical pixels. It's kinda hard to explain on the spot. I have spent a lot of time on WSGF researching how to get some older games to work properly in widescreen, and along the way I discovered these facts. http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page There isn't a single hor+ article, but if you browse enough you will find out what it means. If you aren't sure how many games use hor+ scaling, you can ask here or send me a message or search it on WSGF wiki. You'll get an answer anyhow. The 95% is an estimate. I cannot provide an actual number but it is somewhere close to that. vert- was used before 2005. After that, games slowly started to change to hor+. Nowadays everything is hor+ Just shoot me a question. I'm losing my coherency here. Ask me anything and I'll explain.So are you from Finland or did you just copy and paste your whole message? I frequent the overclock forums regularly. I know you didnt just write that because the person who originally posted it is pro 19x12 over 19x10.
Here is some more from the true author of what you just posted.
I don't think the FOV difference is noticiable at all. However, the extra image clarity within the same resolution and size range is somewhat noticiable
Especially if you're going eyefinity/surround, the added vertical pixels of 1200p are worth it.
You'll appreciate it in windows very much and it won't make a single bit of difference in games since you're already using 3x monitors, gaining a huge FOV.
The difference between 1080p and 1200p on the same quality panels in games is somewhat noticiable. IMO it's enough to make 1200p worth buying.
I don't recommend that you get 3x 1080p TN monitors for eyefinity. That should only be considered an extreme budgeting solution.
Get 1200p if you can, or get 3x 1080p IPS for the same price if you can.
Now this is where decisions count. I'd rather take 3x 1080p IPS monitors than 3x 1200p TN monitors.
If you can afford 3x 1200p IPS monitors, I suggest you spend your money there.
Wow.. I really can't form a coherent post when I'm tired. :|
TLDR: I don't suggest 3x 16:9 for eyefinity. It might provide a couple of more degrees of FOV, but it is not noticiable AT ALL since you already have a huge FOV with 3x monitors. Spend it on 1200p or 1080p IPS. If you can 1200p IPS
