I'm playing on 1680x1050 (native resolution) on a 22inch LCD.

Up until four days ago, my dot visabilty was absolutly attrocious. I was always at a disadvantage in multiplayer without labels. Over about 200 metres way I could not see an E/A, and I had no hope of tracking a fast moving plane against the ground.

I happened to mention it on teamspeak and One of the guys asked me if I had calibrated my monitor, the answer to which was "no".

5 minutes later after using the windows 7 screen calibration utility and it has transformed my game. I can actually see the dots way out into the distance and I can track aircraft against the terrrain which was impossible for me to do before.

Make sure you have calibrated your monitor and give it a go with native resolution before reducing your resolution for visibility purposes.


Cheers!
