Almost any new game can be run in HD.
To run a game in HD, you need a monitor with a resolution of 1280 x 720 or better (1920 x 1080 would be full HD). You also need a graphics card capable of those resolutions.

so does it have to be a widescreen then?

not Necessarily but it does look better, 1920 x 1080 would be widescreen

Computer monitors have had progressive (HD) screens for over a decade.

1920x1200 is the standard resolution for a 24" computer monitor. 1080p on HDTVs is 1920x1080. So the PC resolution is bigger, but with a different aspect ratio (16:10 instead of 16:9).

But unlike HDTVs, PC screens (30") go up to 2560x1600, which in terms of pure pixel count, is nearly twice as large as 1920x1080.

Don't worry about HD, HD just means the resolution and image quality is high, just run games at the highest setting your computer is comfortable with.

well i have a gts 250 512mb so could that still easily run games on high quality with 1920x1080 resolution with a decent fps?

I'm gonna say yes, but you wont be able to turn on all those extra things, like AA, and shader effects.

You should run the video card at the monitors native resolution for best picture.
