My New Samsung 2232GW

[Whirlwind]

Well, after alot of thinking...I finally switched from my 21" Dell Trinitron CRT to this 22" Samsung Widescreen LCD.

I hope I am going to like it....so far so good.

How can I get all my games to play widescreen format, do I go somewhere to get patches?

Here is my new baby....thanks for all the help answering my questions on lcd's also guys...it is much appreciated.

nice improvement man.
and theres no patch...just change the resolution in the video options.
some games you will have to change the screen format from 4:3 to 16:10

Congrats, major upgrade. And yes, games from 2005 and up have native widescreen support.

Nice set-up , I had that switch about 1.5-2 years ago.

oo **** , I see a 2 Wire 1XXX Router, those crap boxes are an example for crappy router , during our last 22 years in my house we had those , and kept replacing them under warranty . The only Company I hate is 2 Wire, hope you had a better experience...

So far so good on the 2 wire router...had to pitch the HPNA adapter that my son used to share the network however...that thing dropped the internet connection constantly.

How can I make my older games display in widescreen??

Also, how can I take a screenshot in widescreen....seems hitting print screen , windows still saves it at 4:3 ratio

Anybody know why, when I take a screenshot in widescreen and paste it in paint...it shows up at 4:3 ratio and not widescreen?
