Does Aces High Support 1680x1050 resolution? buying lcd with this native res

[hubsonfire]

Off the top of my head, the dimensions of the viewable area on a 22" widescreen are about 18.5 x 11.5, as opposed to 10.75 x 14.25 on a 19" crt. Even at 4:3 with bars on the sides, you're gaining an inch or slightly better vertically, and just a bit more than that horizontally.

For comparison's sake, a 19" widescreen is 10 by 16.

I've also been looking at a 20.1" samsung lcd in the normal aspect ratio, which would get me about the same gain in viewable area, and won't require custom resolutions or having to shrink/stretch things to fit. The normal screens are a bit more expensive, but I think I can get a factory refurb for about 200 bucks, which for the dollar invested, is making that a pretty attractive replacement.

I have always understood that if you run an LCD monitor in other than the resolution it is designed for you lose some quality.  I know that is certainly true with the LCDs that I have (none of them are widescreen).  That means for a 1680x1050 widescreen, you would have to set your resolution to 1280x1024 or some such.  Not only do you lose resolution (I run 1600x1200 on my 19" CRT), you also (presumably) lose picture quality too.  It therefore seems to me that for AH, widescreen monitors are a bust.

Can anyone verify?

OK, some screen shot compare... (captured in the game by alt-s)
(It might look a little large for web page, but see how lateral area does NOT change, while vertical area does)
 
This is how it looks in 1280*1024


And below is how it looks in 1600*1200, some more have been cut off.


And finally, this below is HD like wide screen (1920*1200),
A lot different from 4:3 screen.


As you guys wrote, no field of view(on lateral) changes by changing resolution.
But that exactly means, vertical field of view, is changed by resolutions.

Still I'm gonna stick to my 1920x1200, because ;
- 1920*1200 is native resolution for my LCD monitor.
- much better resolution of a target in a given(same) distance.

The second reason is a dominant factor.
I will never consider 1280*1024, because in that resolution,
I can't really see where the bodey is heading, in say, 1k yard.
But with 1920*1200, I really see what goes on in quite a distance.  
Of course, this is due to high-resolution, not wide-screen.
So in summary, 4:3 highest resolution is might be the best for AH.

So I guess I was wrong.  However, I do get a larger horizontal view because I am able to sit farther back in the cocokpit in most planes (as someone had mentioned above).  Like in the Zero I can go back REALLY far and see a large angle while I'm still able to see the gunsight.
