    Here people can find out whether their favorite game will be stretched or whether it will be supported in widescreen. Please post what games you know use the following resolutions:
    1920x1200
    1680x1050
    1280x800

    Also note any games that for sure do not support widescreen resolutions. If a game does not support widescreen resolutions, it will stretch the image horizontally to fit.

    Widescreen-supporting games:
    Unreal Tournament 2004
    Far Cry

    Standard resolution only:
    Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
    Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

    Thank you
