Help with a 22 inch TFT

by Pickelschwanz • 17 Nov 2008, 10:09 • Journals
I have just brought a 22 inch TFT screen, I had a 19 inch before which worked fine but I wanted bigger. Now I am not sure of the best settings for ET as things at distance seem to be a bit blurred and it also seems streteched. So I need to know the best settings to use otherwise I will send it back and got back to my old 19 inch.

Any info would be really great!

Many Thanks

xx

what's unhelpful in telling him to browse older journals?

I'm not sure but my wild guess is he's not the first player with a 22 inch screen

If you compare the information given in the Journal to the information below I know which one is more helpful.

why oh why do you ask this from us? just test and use the best option.

well use the native resolution of your screen otherwise it does get blurred.

1680x1050 and also fov 100+

i ve tryed several things on my 22'' but imo the best settings for gaming is
r_fullscreen 1
r_customheight 800
r_customwidth 1280
cg_fov 100
r_displayrefresh 75

i use that small resolution cuz of two reasons:
-everything is bigger but stretched in the same ratio as it would be in the native resolution
-my tft only supports 60Hz in 1680x1050 and on 1280x800 it supports 75Hz (more hz => better)

Thx! will try this later I have always used 90 fov I guess that would make a difference.

please, 60hz is same as 75hz, or atleast nearly the same. more hz => better worked on CRTs, but not on TFTs.

try:
r_mode -1
r_customwidth 1440 (1680)
r_customheight 900 (1050)

Pickelschwanz 17 Nov 2008, 10:52
I will try both setups, also what fov for your settings?

set far "echo ^4FOV: ^7105; set fovswitch vstr near; set cg_fov 114.81;"
set near "echo ^4FOV: ^790; set fovswitch vstr far; set cg_fov 100.39"

it's some converter for widescreen, try it if suits u

"more hz => better worked on CRTs, but not on TFTs."

has nothing to do with hardware, ET simply processes the input and output better with more fps (synced to hz).
