WIDESCREEN

Hello

 

I am planning to purchase and install PMDG B737NGX

 

My monitor is not widescreen and only supports 1280 X 1024 resolution

 

wil the appearnce be very poor using 1280 X 1024

 

Any advice and guidance most welcome

 

Is there any screen captures of the aircraft in 1280 x 1024 comparing  with widescreen  so I can view before buying

Hello Clive,

 

I have been enjoying the 737NGX  on my 19" 4.3 aspect ratio monitor with a resolution of 1280 x 1024 for the past couple of years, truly excellent and no viewing issues, I have not yet gone to a  widescreen monitor but I am sure that would be a greater panoramic  experience.

I sometimes use Track IR, but more often than not  find the spacebar and mouse useage more convenient,

personal preference and all that.

 

Regards

Mike

Hello Michael..thanks for your reply

 

Would a widescreen monitor only  provide a panoramic view

 

I also use 1280 x 1024 resolution on 19" 4.3 aspect ratio

 

Will the PMDG 737NGX display look just as sharp but without a panoramic view

Hello  again Clive,

 

If you decided to change to a widescreen monitor the higher  aspect ratios offered would  provide greater detail and clarity I understand than the standard A/R  I currently use... and you would need to purchase Peter Dowson's great tool "widescreen"., but given PMDG's high standard of textures overall in the 737NGX, I've not been tempted to upgrade.......yet.

 

Regards

Mike
