Try checking every thread. There's tons of widescreen walls.

Btw, with your 16:10 ratio, 1920x1200 and 2560x1600 will also fit your monitor.. there are so many of those around here. Just look.

Just out of curiousity, why is the notation 16:10 instead of simply saying 8:5? Actually tripped me up a bit before I realized that I was being a douche.

Common ratio's are 4:3, 8:5 (16:10) and 16:9 right? 16:9 being Cinemascope, if I remember right. = /

That's 16:10 as well.

also, 5:4 is a common ratio (1280x1024, 1024x768, 2000x1600)

In fact, we should do a poll.. what are your screen sizes?

I've got 1280 x 768 here.. though usually, when I make walls, I try to make them big like 2560 x 1600 (16:10) and 2560 x 1920 (4:3) so they work for most anons

I think it's just to instantly differentiate it from 16:9, so you know exactly what the difference between the two formats is without thinking about it.

I personally like 16:10, my 1920x1200 monitor can fit 1920x1080 resolution 1:1 (for video and my PS3), and has that little bit more vertical space for PC use.

it's probably just me, but putting my screen into formats that aren't the proper ratio bugs me knowing it's been stretched to fit.

16:9 (1280x720) here.

Only 5:4 ratio listed there is 1280x1024. The others were 4:3. Though, admittedly, it is a bit odd that 1280x1024 is as common as it is, considering it is a bit of a whacky almost-squarish (compared to other ratios) ratio. Then again, it is so close to, say, 1600x1200 or on the lower end, 1024x768 that it fit my 4:3 monitor fine and I never noticed. Go figure.

I love my new 1680x1050 monitor. I just wish I was using something nicer than a Radeon 9550 so that I could actually run my games in that res. = / In a year or two, maybe.
