I want to thank HT for adding support for the widescreen monitor.  I am amazed what a difference a couple of extra inches of screen makes!

The only thing I was dissapointed with is that now I wish I could reduce the size of the text buffer or at least the text itself.  It suddenly got much larger and looks like old DOS crap.

Other than that it's great.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

 Thats funny cause my text buffer got smaller which I like better anyways and for what ever reason my frame rate went way up from an avg of 45/50 to 55/65 so far it looks better to me . :salute HTC great add on
Don't be afraid to put it out there , if it gets cut off it'll grow back
On your mark , Get set , go away !

Thanks HTC! I have decided to order a HD 28" and move my current monitor into the other room as a TV.  :D

on a serious note, what setting should i use for 1680x1050. Just the wide screen option or a manual POV?
