1440x900, it looks a hell of a lot clearer now!!!

Same here, I recently upgraded to a 24" widescreen and this trick made a huge difference.

I guess I am confused. When I go to the settings in TFT 1600 x 1050 is an option you can select and I do not see any black bars on my 22".
So what does this do exactly if the setting is already there?

I do believe that 1600x1200 is the highest supported resolution. So if your monitor's native resolution is higher than that as was the case for a lot of people, than this is a really useful tip.

well i tried this under Vista Ultimate x86 , 1680 x 1050 (22" WideScreen)
and it does not work, keeps to the max res of 1280 x 1024

oh well i tried

It will not show up in WC3 with the res because the res is unsupported by the game, but the game will be at the res you set. You can tell by the scale of the font and how much better it looks. Also, when you alt tab in and out, you can tell right away if a game is running at native resolution because it doesn't have to resize the screen. Make sure you set the value in the registry as decimal if you haven't.

Im sorry to bring this a little offtopic but I really need someone to help me out with this prob or if u know anything about this or have encountered this. When I play war3 ROC or TFT either latest version 1.22 or from oldest 1.0-1.22 version, I get this lag or spike thingy I dont know how to describe this but when you press any cursor or move ur mouse cursor, it suddenly put/drags/jumps the screen to the uppermost sideways or downmost end of the screen depending on what you press if you press up key then uppermost and if downkey then lowermost. This is really irritating and unplayable cause I cannot hover my mouse or keyboard to scroll a desired screen I want to go, its like just a little scroll in the mouse or keyboard and then poof, there it goes my screen jumps to the edge or end of the screen. Im suffering this prob for 2+ years now I play dota lastyear for like 10-14 hours a day, if new games comes out I quit dota forawhile then comeback like tf2 and cod4 came out i quit war3 for like 4 months then comeback again coz dota is addictive and in my country its the most played game or many filipinos playing it. This only happens in war3 either multiplayer or singleplayer and I already e-mailed blizzard about this but I dont get a reply from them. All my hardware drivers are installled and are currently updated if new version comes out. I think its not the mouse/keyboard or GPU since for the past 2 years I already did from changing my keyboard/mouse and GPU to new or higher/more faster one. This are the people which I believe, we share same prob:

This made me think of two possible things. First, simply uninstall War3 entirely and run CCleaner. I would also check your video card, the card itself and its drivers. A couple of times I had such a huge wad of dust in and around the HSF on my video card that my computer would crash. Let me know if this helps or not.

Didnt help. I even gone from reformat PC and fresh install of war3. I also clean GPU HSF every month Im 100% sure its clean, you wont see any minut dust in it. If you think its the GPU so dusty and and not cleaning huge trash files then I should be lagging in some games I play like cod4 tf2 l4d but I aint, this happens only in war3. I hope blizzard have solution for this since war3 is not entirely being focus by blizz.

Thats really strange...Maybe you can do some Google searches to see if anyone has had similar problems.
