Hi,
I did not find anything about it on this forum...
But does someone already suggest to add 16:9 wallpapers when buying games ? (like 1680*1050, for example...)
Thanks.

All the games I've bought that had wallpapers included, had 1920*1200 "wallapapers" too.

When there are wallpapers with the game, there is often one at 1920x1200, which should scale back nicely to 1680x1050.

I never thought to check, but is 1600x900 also included?

Well, I'm looking at my Sacrifice wallpaper folder. There are four wallpapers, in four different sizes: 1024*768, 1280*1024, 1600*1200 and 1920*1200. All in all, they could have skipped the first one, as 1600*1200 is 4:3 as well. There isn't a 16:9 one, but 16:10 should be close enough.

Don't think so, no, the includes sizes seems to be:
1024x768
1280x1024
1600x1200
1920x1200
This is for all the games I have checked.
The smallest one seems unnecessary, since the 1600x1200 one has the same proportions and scales back nicely, but those should cover most common resolutions (no HD or other odd ones).
Oh, yeah, 1920x1200 and 1680x1050 are both 16:10, not 16:9.

Yea, if your monitor doubles as an HDTV the image gets squished a bit.

While I was typing, yes, you hadn't posted it yet when I clicked "reply" :-P
