New Monitor = No more FFXI?Follow

ewwwww! I can't stand to play anymore ; ;. I got a new 17" LCD flat panel and loaded up FFXI for first time since early this week (back when I was still on CRT monitor). Now my graphics are horrible... Nebz (as well as everything else) is too slender or too wide... there is no more correct setting. Everything looks distorted... my buttons look genky and what little desire I had to stick around and stay after my break has now been abolished by the disgusting display settings.

Anyone experience this and ever able to fix it? I think atm, I'm at 15:10 or something... I can't remember, but it's still a little too slender for my liking and things looks really different (bad different). I'm saddened as I was looking forward to seeing what this game would look like on the flat panel... but now I know my answer was opposite of what I had hoped ; ;.

Maybe on final fantasy XI configuration, you can adjust the settings. You must know the default screen size (native resolution) of your monitor (mine is 1024x768in in my laptop). My pc's LCD is bigger so I adjust accordingly. I can tell you that the LCD monitor graphics are awesome, you just need a little tweaking.

Hope this helps.

STTTTTRRREEEEEEEEETTTTCH THE PICTURE!!

Try it. Reset the monitor back to normal and find the right display for that size of picture and then stretch the image to fit the walls of ur monitor. The monitor should let u do that. Thats what I did to mine and it worked out grrrreat!

I've been playing it beautifully for almost two years now on a CRT... also, the LCD is stretched to each edge by default... only the CRT requires me to manually set that. I can try the default resolution for the LCD... but I think FFXI at 1280x1024 might get a lil choppy... eh, I took Nebz outside briefly for what I can't remember... I guess I can live with it... but the buttons and text and everything just looks soo funky and bizarre now. :\

vani!!!!

LCD displays always look horrible when you don't run them at their native resolution. You'll have to run FFXI at whatever resolution the LCD is made to run at or deal with the poor graphics.

Play with the settings I think you can make the buttons and text look bigger. I'd tell you how but my laptop is in Linux right now and Square has the labels on the stuff named really odd so I don't remember exactly what to tell you to do.
