    Hi,

    When I hook up my m11x to my AW2210 screen WoW isnt smooth with 1920 x 1080

    When I play on the m11x screen with maximum resolution it is smooth! What are is the best resolution setting on a 21.5 inch screen to have no lag?

    Thanks!

    Your nvidia gt335m should be more powerfull than my ati hd4670, yet I have no problems with running full hd resolutions on my 23 inch monitor...

    Especially with a cpu intensive game like wow i'd expect your cpu to be the bottleneck, especially during raids. But, since you said everything runs fine on the native resolution of the m11x, i'd say just try any lower resolution and see which one doesn't give you stutter or lag and still looks good.

    The best resolution is usualy more determined by your game than by your monitor (ofc the bigger your monitor the worse low resolutions will look). For cod4 I can play perfectly in 1680*1050, with no real difference compared to full hd. When I play AC2, I get two black bars on the top and bottom of my screen when I use that resolution, which forces me to either use full hd, or a lower resolution without those bars.

    What i'm saying is, why didn't you simply try several resolutions youself and see how works out ...
