Are u asking people with a laptop?
If not: 19" CRT(Viewsonic A91f+) resolution 1024 X 768(since the comeback of the CZ)...used to play 1600 X 1200 but I switched ..Puppet reccomended lower resolution...so I'm still testing this

Good Luck

Set CS's resolution to a widescreen setting, like 1280x720; that will render the game properly.

Since you're using a laptop with an LCD, you should try to stick with the LCD's native resolution, or a multiple thereof. If you go less than the LCD's native resolution, it has to interpolate pixels therefore degrading image quality. CRTs do not have this problem. I'm guessing that your laptop should be able to handle the nigh native resolution of your LCD.

You forget that some LCD's have multiple native resolutions without a problem. Also when it cames to rendering the game, it's full screening a lower resolution, so unless his LCD really sucks (which it doesnt) it should be fine; this would be different if he was running a different Windows environment resolution.[/i]

1280 x 1024 LCD, pwnji as hell. only thing is a very small bit of
bleeding colors when too much bright on dark....hardly notice after
about a minute of playing tho.
