Just for a reference heres a link to the monitor:
http://gateway.com/programs/lcd/
I just bought this monitor yesterday and i totally love it. THis monitor is huge very fast, and literally no ghosting and it only costs $499. I bought this monitor for my pc gaming, but thats the problem more than half my games won't support the funky 1680x1050 res. Not even prey supports the 16:10 aspect ratio, F.E.A.R doesn't support it, half life 2, etc.... However there are two games that i have that supports the res, and that is hl episode 1, and hl lost cost. And i have to say the game looks insane at these resolutions, but i already beat those two games.
So really what i'm asking, is it even worth it to keep it? I'm really suprised that prey doesn't support the res. Its weird because under preys settings, theres an option for 16:10 aspect ratio, but the selection of resolutions when set to 16:10 are the same as the 4:3 aspect ratios. And when i try to run fear, it won't even boot to any of my save points. No matter what i do for both hl2 and fear it will just exit the game when i try to play them with this monitor.
I really want to keep this monitor, but since it doesn't support fear and prey properly i'm a bit bumbed out. I got this monitor mainly so i can play future titles like crysis, and ut07, but if it really doesn't support the games i have now, it seems a bit pointless.
