Correct me, if I am wrong, but one does not have to change the monitor to get better resolution, right? Can't you simply change the video card in the PC? That would be a lot less expensive!

I would not care about picture distorsion, but at any but the default monitor resolution the text becomes blurry (not sharp). The cause is that any resolution has to be up or downscaled to the monitors native resolution for display. At uneven up or downscaling, some aliasing occurs, which is visible and disturbing (especially reading text). Personally i have used a 1600x1200 21' lcd monitor until last year. Then i swapped it for a 19' lcd with 1280x1024 resolution because i could not see the small pixels on the 1600x1200 monitor any more ! As we get older, we might focus on pixel size, not on resolution. Big screens are nice, but only at low-res. If you need more screen size, a dual low-res monitor setup is nicer than a single hi-res screen. This dual-screen thing works excellently in winXP, give it a try !
