Exclamation Battlestations midway and widescreen monitors

Hi all

Im going to get a 20.1" widescreen monitor later this month and was wondering if BS:M supported widescreen format.

I think the graphics are a tad better on the PC so im buying the PC version.
Only if it supports widescreen thought.

Who he has it running on a 19" or 20" widescreen monitor and what screen size does it support too?

54 inch widescreen in 1080i is awesome with this game. I only wish the damage modeling had more detail along with the fires that break out. The island graphics leave a lot to be desired, however, considering the scale of the game it is not that important.

Yeah. It hadn't occured to me when until I was following a flight of 3 squads of Dive bombers somewhere over the the pacific toward a steaming Aircraft carrier, That I was playing on a monitor more then double the size of my ol 19inch. I wondered what this game is like on a standard size

54 inch Mitsubishi widescreen in 1080i is awesome with this game. I only wish the damage modeling had more detail along with the fires that break out. The island graphics leave a lot to be desired, however, considering the scale of the game it is not that important.

That depends on your Tv. I have used a 52 inch sony and the 1080i always looks better. 720p looks muddy and 1080i looks crisp clear and is awsome, I suspect the tv does some processing on upscaling the image to make it look so good.

BUT try the resolutions out, most xbox 360 games are designed for 720p and only a good tv is able to upscale to 1080i and retain high quality.
