Has anyone tried using this mode on a regular CRT monitor? I've been using it, but i've had to 'shrink' my monitor vertically with the monitor controls, and wondered if you still get the same widescreen effect by doing this and not just merely cropping off the tops of the picture.

It seems like in CS:Source it could give you a slight advantage by giving you extra viewing area to the left and right.

Take a look at these comparison shots:

Yeah I run in widescreen on my 19" LCD. Just set aspect ratio to 16:9 in the game, select 1280x768. I have to tell my videocard not to stretch videomodes in the advanced display properties though (r9800).

Don't know if you can do it with a CRT ?
