    hey guys i have the dell 2407 24inch widescreen. I can set my desktop resolution to the 1920x1200 but when i play games, they only enable me to choose up to 1600 instead of the 1920. How do i make it so i can choose the 1920 in games? I have tried both fear and cs. Any help would be great, thanks.

    I think it may just be that the games don't support that resolution, but that's just a thought.

    Yeah, I can't run any games at the highest resolution for this monitor(1920x1440) and the nVidia drivers don't support it's highest resolution for Windows, which is odd since my x850 could do it fine. It may be driver limited, but odds are its game limited.

    There are tricks to do this, google is your friend, but it is that the games dont support the resolutions.
    Click here for how to's on all games, and here for FEAR extraction point. It is natively supported in F.E.A.R v1.08.

    FEAR only supports 4:3 resolutions natively. CS:S requires you to set 16:10 in the dropdown menu; I have no idea if 1.6 supports widescreen. WSG as linked to above by r4tch3t should cover you for anything else.
