    Well, that is a non-standard resolution, so I would have to guess that the game does not have it.
    If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

    Everyone wants to be different, but when you're different you wish you were normal.

    you can always run pwi at the lower resolutions still b:laugh

    lets put it this way: i have 1280x800 resolution widescreen laptop. i can run pwi up to that resolution (in full screen), however i will suffer the built-in bugs that pwi has at widescreen resolutions. instead, i run it at the standard 1024x768 resolution (i also run it windowed, but that's only so i have easy access to vent)

    PWI will happily run in a window 2000 wide and 10 tall, if you want.

    So you shouldn't have a problem, just a little title bar taking up a bit of screen.

    The screen will be a little distorted, but you shouldn't have any issues running the game full-screen.

    PWI is very flexible about screen resolutions.

    When you start the game it checks Windows to get your screen's native resolution and offers that as a full-screen option, no matter how odd-ball the resolution might be. It also lets you make the game any resolution or shape you want when you run it in a window.

    I think resolution depend not on screen size ut graphic card capacity.If you have really good graphic card you should be able to run full screen game even on 32" Plasma TV without loosing too much quality.
    My PC runs whit 20" Plasma monitor in dual mode <Analog and Digital> and resolution 1900 to 1020 <if i recall correct> and quality is let say perfect b:chuckle, but when i run PWi on my laptop via attached 19" analog monitor i loose about 40% PC quality <it is still great but...>

    To OP.
    If you have good GCard then i do not think so that setting maximal resolution for 23" monitor should be any problems.

    The only widescreen and resolution issues you will have to deal with are:

    In-game UI fonts do not resize (Chat window does)

    UI button and such do not resize

    In-game map will be cut off at the top and bottom parts of the screen.

    Because PWI was created 4 years or so ago, it does not have as many UI tweaks that some of PWE's other game do.

    We have people playing... er... um, "testing" the game on multiple displays, usually in windowed mode, with it dragged across both displays. Looks great!

    Just remember to make all the graphic settings LOW or OFF and see how your framerate does and crank it up until you have issues.
    Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?
