    WoW is blurry for me, possibly because of the 15.4" widescreen. is there a way for me to fix this or make it more bearable? because it will probably be a lot more different for me playing FPS games with this type of screen :x

    Do you have WoW set to the native resolution of your display?

    zadillo is right, you need to make sure that the game resolution matches the native resolution of your screen. In other words, if your screen's resolution is 1200x800 then set the game to that resolution. If your screen is 1440x900, set the game to 1440x900.

    WoW fully supports widescreen resolutions, so one of the resolutions should fix your problem.

    it probably doesn't matter with WoW, but if you do end up needing to play in lower resolutions for performance purposes, you can utilize the ultra cinematic black bars to keep things sharp at the cost of image size.

    Assuming you have an nvidia card and access to the nvidia control panel:

    Click on "change flat panel scaling" and you have a few options, including "do not scale" which is what you would need.
