What is XHD?

XHD is NVIDIA's widescreen initiative within the gaming market. The goal is not only to evangelize and accelerate adoption of widescreen monitors and solutions, but to drive the adoption of high-res widescreen (1680x1050, 1900x1200 and 2560x1600). NVIDIA is working with game developers, to help them see the benefits of supporting native widescreen and XHD resolutions. WSGF is working with NVIDIA to help validate and catalog games that work in XHD.

This page lists all of the notebooks and monitors that support XHD resolutions. To further filter your hardware search, click on one of the resolution sub-categories. In addition, click any of the "XHD..." sub-categories, to find which games have been tested and confirmed to work. All games tested at higher resolutions are confirmed to work at the lower resolutions as well. For example, an "XHD 2560x1600" has also been tested to run at 1920x1200 and 1680x1050.

From NVIDIA's website:

Go beyond standard high definition (HD) and experience Extreme High Definition (XHD) – the ultimate widescreen, ultra-high-resolution PC experience. XHD has over 4x the picture clarity of native 1080i HD televisions and 2x the picture clarity of 1080p HD televisions and let’s you play the hottest PC games and applications in widescreen mode.

To experience XHD, you need three supporting components – an NVIDIA GPU , an XHD monitor or notebook, and software that support XHD’s stunning visual clarity. XHD will immerse you in games like never before, letting you see more of the exciting gaming action. And for users that want more space for photo or video editing, XHD lets you spread your work over the entire desktop providing over 20% more desktop space than normal 4:3 aspect ratio monitors.
