I'm going to compress the screenshots here so the page loads faster. Sorry I didn't think of this sooner, I was being a noob.

DMC4 is certified widescreen? Nice.

I might go buy this... already got it on the PS3, but if I can mod the PC version, it might make me want to play it. ;)

I aplogize if this is a dumb question, but I am not getting the "letterboxing" behaviour, as described above. Perhaps I am missing something in the settings or hardware, don't know.

I have a CRT monitor at desktop res of 1280x960 @ 85Hz, and when I do 1280x720 in DMC4, it changes the whole screen to that res and does not add black bars.

I have an Nvidia 8800GTS 640MB, WinXP SP3, etc.

I'm not using any additional hardware or software or anything. Or have I misunderstood the situation completely, and the letterboxing effect is actually from the TH2Go somehow?

If it is a feature of TH2Go, then it shouldn't be in the DR.

I don't think its a feature of the TH2GO. And I've tried to duplicate this behavior in other games in case it was, and I couldn't.

I can't select 1280x960 for my desktop resolution to test and see if it works. I'll have to look into adding it to custom resolutions.

Anyways, I don't suppose that maybe the game only does this when hooked up with DVI? Or maybe your monitor itself was doing a 1-to-1 or aspect scaling?

I don't have a 5:4 monitor to try on, only a 1080p LCD TV, which doesn't help because of course it's already that shape. So I'd help more but I can't really.

Thanks for the detailed report though, the Hor+ is the important thing.

Could I get a grade for this DR?

Like Ibrin said, Certified. Or if you prefer a letter grade, A.

I'm thinking this game looks like a good slasher.
