Hi again,
I am on the brink of buying my first LCD monitor, and believe it or not, one of my first questions to myself was , "will I be able to play BG2 on it"..
I know the LCD's have this "Native Resolution" issue, which in the 19" case, is 1024 X 1280.
So what happens in cases where certain games are configures to run at lower resolutions??
Has anyone played there BG2 on LCD's ?? If yes then on which LCD's and which game settings.
Thank-you!!
Does anyone here play BG2 on LCD monitors??

Life is short... play more...!
I've been playing BG1 on an LCD monitor for over 5 years and BG2 for about 6 months without problems.

I've played BG2 on my LCD for about two years, it works great!
I have a Samsung LCD, can't recall the model, and I have my game at all the highest settings, it looks pretty damn good actually.

No problems with BG2 on LCD.

They only time that you will run into a problem with playing a game on an LCD is for fast-paced action games. For those types of games you will need an LCD with a very fast response time.
None of the Infinity Engine games fall into the fast-paced action game category so you won't have a problem with any LCD monitor for those games.

It's done automatically by your video adapter actually, there will be no problem. It will either stretch the view or box it with black borders if the resolutions are incompatible, depending on your settings. I've been playing on my laptop (1024x768) for several years now, and i have gone through a bunch of old games, including BG1, and have had no problems.
