You're still using a CRT display? Most people use LCD's nowadays and if you arent using its native resolution the picture quality won't be very good. I think it's great they're doing a remake, not everyone is willing to go through the hassle of installing several mods for UI and resolution.. on the whole i think people using mods is quite small, nice for those people to get a release they dont need to mess with for hours before they can play with good picture quality.

I don't use high res mods on any of them. BG1-2 still looks good, even at 800x600 resolution. The only mod I really need at the moment is EasyTUTU, I simply can't play BG1 without it.
