Wide screen monitor

[PoorOldSpike]

Yes mate I got a 22" widescreen a few months ago and freaked bigtime at how the CM units were stretched out horizontally, I thought "I can't play CM any more with it looking crazy like this!"
So I spent days fiddling with the monitor settings and resolutions, and asking around all the PC help forums and computer shops to no avail, there was no solution and the units continued to look distorted, so I grudgingly had to play on.
But amazingly i got used to the distortion and now it looks absolutely normal to me i kid you not, don't ask me why, i suppose it's all to do with the way the human brain processes images and reality..

"Reality is an illusion, albeit a very persistent one"- Albert Einstein

PS- it's like when you get a new pair of glasses, you feel cross-eyed and the whole world seems distorted at first (it did for me anyway), but after a couple of weeks your eyes/brain compensate and things look normal again.
Hey, my niece and her family have got a widescreen TV and when I first saw it I was shocked at how the pic was stretched out horizontally, so I offered to try fiddling with it to get it looking right, but they said "what you talking about? The pic's perfect!" so I sheepishly left it alone..
