    And that's a good point.

    Your first shot isn't loading, Mize. 2nd one looks good though.

    Seems like Steam's screenshot servers are very slow today...anyway, playing some racing games before I switch back to portrait on these monitors, but here are some wide Shogun 2 shots...

    Heading out to see a play ("Every Christmas Story Ever Told" by the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company - it's hysterical), so no 3866x1920 Shogun 2 shots today...but here's an oldie but goody in 36x19:

    The distortion on the edges is horrible in those Shogun 2 shots. And there's probaby very little you can do about it.

    It's supposed to do that for surround. That's why I think portrait will look better. Notice how different CoH looks.

    Shogun 2 looks much better in 3x1 Portrait...

    It took some coaxing but I finally got SC2 working in "big" screen mode. It seems to require specific aspect ratios so it's running windowed.
    The zoom out is a big improvement IMHO since in "wide" mode it runs Vert- (so you really see less).
