What is the difference between 1920x1080 vs 1600x900? Not in terms of graphic quality, but how much do you see in it?

I don't think it increases your FoV at all when you increase rez; it would cause balance issues.

They're both 16:9 resolutions.

The FoV will be exactly the same, I think that's what you're getting at.

Yes, infact, 4:3 resolutions have less FoV than 16:9, 16:9 resolutions have the widest FoV, with 16:10 close second.

As far as actual game impact goes, it has absoloutely no difference, you won't notice it.

No difference, the game scales whatever's on the screen bigger or smaller depending on your resolution

hmmmm...
either way it's still 16:9
I remember they did a 16:10 vs 16:9 vs 4:3 at different resolutions
you do see a bit more, the 16:10 gave a slight advantage

So in term of seeing more FoV, 1920x1080 is the same as 1600x900?

Yes, that's correct.

Ok thanks

What aspect ratio do you guys use for SC2?

 

[SirWaWa]

the highly popular/hated 1920x1080
(I personally love it, damn all u PC elitists)

You will have a great Field Of View as long as you use a 16:9 resolution!
So no matter if you go 1600x900 or 1920x1080 you will be fine.

Just be sure to stay away from 16:10. It sucks big time for games (and most other things as well).

I tried to get SC2 to work on my tri monitor display but the developers limit it to one screen. From what I understand the SC2 community feels that tri monitor displays or anything with a bigger fov than 1920 x 1080 is cheating thus they patched anyway to make it possible.
