Widescreen resolutions

[DrMekon]

I know the optimum resolution on most is 1680 x 1050... but I have poor eyesight, and resolutions this high are too small for me to read. I currently use 1024x768 on a 19" CRT, and wondered if there is a widescreen equivalent, and whether games would support these resolutions....

I dont want to shell out on a widescrren (and Im looking at the NEC GX2), and then find it is no good in lower res, and no game support....

Any info would be appreciated...

Thanks

Thanks for both your input.... I

was going for a standard 19" but those widescreens do look fantastic... think I really need to get to a retail outlet and have a look for myself!!! Or even try to find out what support the games I play have for widescreen resolutions other than the default 16x10.....

Thanks
