btw is there any reason to keep using 4:3 besides being used to it?
i recently changed from 5:4 to 16:9 and i love it, you can lower your fov a bit and still have the same horizontal view, but most players seem to stay at 4:3 or whatever

used to it/you can force it on just about any monitor nowadays

yeah sure you can still use it anywhere with forcing it, was just wondering for the reason

stretched view sux, you get problems with sens I guess and enemy models and everything looks stretched.

ql has proper widescreen, nothing gets stretched. people are just used to 4:3 and don't want change/might not have a widescreen monitor at home.

with the benq you can switch to 4:3 through the osd, so it's pretty simple too.

I don't get it how it's poissble :/
If you use 16:9 you "lose" or see more in sides or up/down. Its like 110 fov for horizont ant 100 for vertical no?

what?
the hud/your view/fov/whatever does not get stretched, why should it be stretched? 16:9 adds some space on both "sides", fov stays the same but you gain a little viewsize on the horizontal.

edit: ah, yeah: you could say widescreen fov 100 is like normal fov 100 on the vertical but more like fov 110 on the horizontal.

how about sens?

360° is the same but can feel different

same, turning around feels a little different, i got used to that rather quickly though. love the added space on the sides :)

yeah right
hud elements are all stretched, just look what it does to something symmetrical in 4:3

no, don't bring this up again, you were wrong in that other thread already.

that is your own custom(hud) crosshair, right? which you didn't align properly to work with 16:9, and that is id's/the game's fault in your eyes?

why, exactly? :)

yes i can compensate for it manually witha lot of trial and error number guessing. i just put it in to show that ql does strecht hud elements. and you cant fix things like the weapon bar or the text (i am not sure if the text is designed for 4:3 or 16:9 but it does get stretched)

Why put the clock in the middle of the screen? Why make it so big? I can't imagine it being anything but an obstruction and a distraction.

no wonder he loses all the time!
