Considering this model or similar

Does Civ 4 support 1920 x 1200 ?

 

[Emperor_Norton]

Nope. 1680x1050 is as big as Civ gets. You should check, but odd are good that any monitor that does 1920x1200 can do 1680x1050.

Updated: This was wrong. Sorry about that. It's not offering 1920x1200 to me because it can tell my setup doesn't support it.

My Vizio 26'' Widescreen plays it in 1920x1200

my laptop plays it just fine at 1920x1200

Wow ... I'll get one

What is it like playing at that resolution ?

I suspect you see more of the map and therefore a bigger picture when playing.

Alternatively I have considered a second monitor.

Can I play Civ on one screen (i.e. the primary 22") and have another screen open on a reference Website

 

[ori]

if you run it in windowed mode it should work fine on multiple screens.

Hmmm ... A dilemma now.

Windowed mode is slower graphically, but I have a good graphics card (HD 4870), and as I will not be playing in this way, only modding it should not be too bad. I give it a try in my current setup (22" screen)

Bought a 26" LG W2600H = 1920 x 1200

Installed it tonight and let me just say WOW

Had to add my 22" as well as I found it easier to be looking at the World Builder Map and the Google Maps map in seperate screens
