Cross-posted from the support forums at the EQ boards:
I've been playing on the same monitor for 10 years, at 1600 x 1200 (old 4:3 format). I just got a new monitor which is running at 1920 x 1080. It's now the main display, with the old 1600 x 1200 as the secondary monitor.
When I started EQ on the new monitor, I tried using the "Options" button on the first screen (the one where you can choose login, account, EQ live webpage, etc.) The box it brings up only offers me resolutions which are all the 4:3 ratio. So I skipped that and logged in to the game. Once in, I brought up the options window, selected the display tab, and brought up the resolutions. This did offer some 16:9 ratio choices, but the largest of these was 1280 x 720.
So, how do you get to the bigger 16:9 resolutions? Can I just manually edit my "ini" files, and type 1920 x 1080 there?
Thanks,
Tat

Tatanka,
Just a guess here but how old is your video card and what kind is it? I presume you've checked to ensure it's running the most updated drivers and that it supports higher resolution modes?
What is the native resolution when you're not in game and is it also adjustable?
Right clicking on your desktop, have you checked what resolutions are available? My suspicion is that it's driver related. Once your desktop is running in the higher resolution are you still having the same experience?

Nope, not driver related. My desktop is adjustable, and running at 1920 x 1080.
I did find a partial answer. I was launching with ISB. I launched just using the EQ launcher, and it immediately recognized (and used) 1920 x 1080. So it's an ISB issue to resolve.
Thanks for the help!
