John, With LCD monitors, there is only one specific "native" resolution. Any other resolution is blurry, not as tack sharp, so you must insure you have drivers for that resolution in order to have acceptable clarity with text, etc.
My new 22" Samsung monitor has 1680 x 1050 since it is a widescreen format. The text and icons, etc., appear to be maybe even a bit sharper and easier to read than with my 1024 x 768 resolution that I had with my 19" monitor. The size of the fonts and text are similar in size to the 19" with the lower resolution, but you have a lot more horizontal real estate to work with. The vertical space I find to not be quite as important since a major factor with working with documents is to be able to read across without frequent scrolling and up and down scrolling is needed much less than if you had to scroll left and right. 73, Rick, KV9U John Champa wrote: >Correct me, if I am wrong, but one does not have to change the monitor to >get better resolution, right?
