I play in 1680x1050, only thing that sucks about it is I can't even see the climb reader with headposition all the way back. had to put a macro on one of my x52s to pagedown. Same in a lot of planes like spitfires when you're playing in 16:10 mode... You can't see your ammo.

I have 22" asus with same specs.

As rumble said you gotta page down to see ammo counter on certain planes it isnt a big deal.

Harder to see rear 6 high and front 12 but you can adjust your view buttons to accomodate.

See the other screen thread. Someone showed how if you actually rotate the monitor 90 degrees so it's tall and have it display correctly that way, you gain a massive amount of top/bottom view without losing very much (if any) left/right view.

And why's that? Be creative.
