Operaguy- The pixel ratio has to match the monitor aspect ratio. 1920 x 1200 is a perfect match for a 16:10 monitor, most monitors are still 4:3, though. I started on 3D many years ago on a system that had a Targa 16 card with 512:486 resolution, the rotate the circle effect was VERY noticable on them! The old EGA cards were 640 x 350 too, also far from 4:3. I also remember Macs had this monitor you could rotate (physically) 90 degrees to get a full page display, tall and narrow, now that I think of it. Anyway, most "modern" display cards offer square ratios. I mostly mentioned this for the people who have a choice between 1280 x 1024 and 1280 x 960 modes, in this case more gives you less, perhaps. ;-)
