So, I know that the game doesn't support anything but 4:3 resolutions out of the box... however with a bit of determination I figured out how to force it to run at my LCD screen's native resolution of 1920x1200. The graphics look fantastic and run very smooth on my X850 XT PE *but* - and this is a bit but - I now see what Telltale was mentioning in other threads about "some issues" with non-4:3 resolutions.
Basically, the game still "thinks" internally in 4:3. So, while I would expect 1920x1200 to either give me the same "viewable" height as 1600x1200 but add on some extra width -or- stretch the picture horizontally (like I can manually set my monitor to do at 1600x1200), it instead gives me the same viewable width while chopping off the top and bottom of the screen (to put it another way, it's showing me 1920x1200 but it's trying to draw 1920x1440).
Which is a major issue, since the top menu bar and bottom inventory are *completely* missing and make the game impossible to use.
However, I would imagine that this really shouldn't be hard to fix, but I think Telltale needs to realize that there are enough of us out there that want to run at 1440x1050, 1920x1200 and even 1280x1024!
