Do I need a wide screen monitor ?

[Ploughman]

I expect Cliffs of Dover will have wide-screen resolutions to choose from. As the visual interface, and the bit where the game user traction takes place, having a nice big high definition screen in a supported resolution is what you want. I use a 24" monitor and a 37" hi-def lcd tv, both are 1080 x 1920 and many i've no doubt CloD will be able to service that resolution. Older games, even Il2, don't look so hot on the big screens as its not a resolution it was ever intended to support. There may be some mods for il2 to allow it to format for widescreen hi res monitors, but I haven't got them.

A 19" screen would seem hopelessly inadequate to me now I've been spoiled rotten by the big screens. Sitting in front of the 37" is virtually i-max. If you can afford it, and hi-def LCD tvs are relatively cheap now everyone's pumping out LEDs and 3d TVs, get one.
