hi all. im new here.

if i play counterstrike on widescreen it means it got dark at both left and right sides?? i dont understand, whats the use of widescreen then??

how can i check if a movie file is in widescreen format? i think most movies you download never mentioned anything about it. and if the movie is not in widescreen format then wouldnt that make it looked 'stretched'?? sorry i lcd newbie.tq.

is practical to buy widescreen when i just using 9600xt? i think the minimum reso for widescreen is 1280x720? this will suck performance esp in new games.
