I just got a 20 Cinema Display and hooked it up to my Dual800 w/ a GF3 and absolutely love the color and brightness (I lucked out and have zero bad pixels too) and it looks fantastic at the native resolution of 1680x1050. I saw the specs that show it supports 1280x800 but I can't access that rez anywhere.
It's no big deal in day to day use as I would never use it on the desktop but in Quake3 in 1024x640 wide-screen Quake3 looks great and timedemos run over 120 fps. I was wondering if there was a way to access the 1280x800 to improve it a bit from there but I can's select it in the Displays control pref pane and when I alter the Quake 3 config it won't accept that particular rez. Is this some limit of the GF3 or am I the only one that can't access that particular rez?
No Biggie, but I have to say this is the best display I have ever owned and I don't really notice too much in the way of pixel-response problems in high frame rate games as some others have claimed (my previous display was the Apple 17 LCD so I may be used to LCD's at this point).
