Some do some dont, but you can edit the cfg files and make it so it can.

PC games are able to push out resolutions of 2***x2*** (* meaning any number depending on resolution 
), PC gamers have been enjoying such high resolutions for years (which is why it annoys me so much when console gamers think their 'HD' games are so great - but that's another subject lol).
And there should be no need to edit any config files, most games will recognize your monitor's native resolution, if not there should be an option in your video card drivers (e.g. catalyst control center for ATI), to force a resolution of your choice.

I think IÂ’m going to pick this one up when it comes out.

Well, i just bought this monitor on Friday.

And so far i'm lovin' it. Yeah, a lot of games I've had to edit .cfg files or use command lines in shortcuts to force 1680x1050. And it's pretty nice to play in wide screen. Other games i've play support that resolution without tweaks. Like Company of Heros has widescreen settings and I play it for a few minutes and it was pretty wild. I'd recommend to anyone interesting in anything larger then 20" to make sure they have a mid to highend videocard to power those resolutions. I've found that my x1900xtx does lose a few FPS in games at 1680x1050. But, it's not enough to really effect anything.
I'd recommend this monitor, it's really sweet. Colors are really vivid and they;ve fixed the backlighting issue from a previous panel. Movies look incredible.
I'd have to say that after using a viewsonic vx-924 19" monitor for the last 8 month, this samsung 22" widescreen is pretty ballsy. and in some applications I think it's better. Specifically DVD's.

I'm pretty sure that if he is going to play games, he has an ATI or an nvidia card.
