forgive me if this is confusing.

My friend and i where playing and i told him that i often have to wear glass's in order to enlarge the picture so i can see, and he told me if you set your in game resolution ( found in the display mod) higher it stenches the image and allows you to see things a lot clearer


Is this true? or is there enougher way to inlargen the picture?.

Fujitsu FA-19W1S-H2A Widescreen 19" LCD Monitor - Product Details, Information and Specifications - MyShopping.com.au

I have a fujitsu monitor, it said's it a 14,9,

Im curently have my resolution set in PR menu (desplay mod) set at 1024x768@75HZ

i had it set to 1280x960@60hz, but i found it id not really make the picture sharper but it did not stretch the picture. or really help me out at all. objects appeared around the same size as before if not smaller.

If you haven't got a pair handy, then increasing the resolution in your video settings will make the image clearer, however, if you put it too high your pc may run slowly.

or



What resolution are you running at now, and what size monitor have you got?

Increasing the resolution makes the image you see larger making things clearer.

The bigger the monitor the higher the resolution you can set, the higher the resolution the less fps you will have though.

That is the main purpose of the resolution really, if you still have trouble seeing on max resolution you should keep your glasses on, maybe see a doctor for vision problems or get a larger monitor.

I up dated my post with my spec's

Take this from one who knows. I use to work for an Optician at Texas State Optical back in 2007.
The answer to your question is NO. The bigger the picture the bigger the blur, not more blur necessarily, just a bigger one. What you are doing by increasing the resolution is maybe sharpening the image and therefore your eye is focusing much more on what you’re looking at. The problem with that is that you are straining your retina and what will happen is that you'll end up with headaches and migraines down the road.

I use to do exactly that and after a few hours playing, I felt as if needles were penetrating my eyes. It hurt!
So either use your regular glasses and lower the resolution or go to the doc and get a lower prescription or Computer glasses that will suit you better.

Hope this helps.

I don't know why you're not really getting any helpful feedback here; the answer is quite simple.

If you have an LCD monitor and a sufficiently fast graphics card, you should always run at the native resolution of your monitor. Period. In your case, that's 1440x900.

You may not be able to set this widescreen resolution from within the game settings, but you can add it to your PR shortcut. Right-click the shortcut, Properties, and add "+szx 1440 +szy 900" (without the quotes) to the end of it. You'll also need to go to My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001, edit Video.con, and remove the resolution line.

This will have the additional benefit of in-game elements having the correct aspect ratio, whereas right now you may have noticed everything looks a little too wide.

@ RHYS4190

I tried messing with the resolution in my PR shortcut once, I thought my Screen would explode, so just go to the max allowed & recommended resolutions.

[quote=""'[R-CON"]creepin;1098470']i think what he meant was interpolating the image on his LCD screen, same with cheap china cams that say they produce 8MP images, but only have a 2MP CMOS sensor, calculating extra pixels that aren't there.


doing that with an LCD screen doesnt make any sense to me, it would just blur things up...

run it at native resolution thats the best you get.[/quote]

LCD screens do this anyway; they use a linear filter (blur) to stretch images that are not the native resolution so they will fill the screen. And it does indeed blur things up. That's why it's best to give the LCD an image in its native resolution.

Your screen will absolutely not explode. If it can't handle the resolution, you simply won't get a picture (black screen). But there's no reason an LCD shouldn't handle its native resolution at 60Hz.

That is highly true, it happens to me alot, usually when im not paying attention to what im doing and end up changing the resolution. Or when I do different things with my TV, computer I end up with that effect. I have lost about 10-15% of my vision over 6 years doing things like that. So before you take any advice dealing with altering your resolution or picture size, keep that in mind.

It goes at the end of the Target box, outside the quotes.

Example: "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +fullscreen 1 +szx 1440 +szy 900

So what you fiddled with the resolution and made it too high, and it straighten your eye's. and degraded your vision. in what way do you mind me asking there are lot of way's these computer games can degrade your vision.

me for example, looking at a computer screen for most of my life screwed my eye's ability to focus, But that was easily fixed it cost me $400 bucks but it was money well spent.
so if your having trouble with your eye's see a doctor with today's technology they may be able to repair the damage.

From my experienced altering the video.con resolution line is impossible.
And changing the resolution to 1440x, did not result in any improvement.

in fact it made things a lot worse, when you change the settings to 1440x, it squishes the picture down to and even smaller degree.


that means solder models and objects in game, are represented a lot smaller then they would be on normal settings. and this is not exactly some thing you want in PR, because it reduces your effective range considerably.
