The key word is "native". LCDs, being digital, have a native resolution, where each pixel to be displayed maps directly to a pixel on the screen. Most monitors will find a way to display some resolutions lower than their native one, but it may not look pretty (either "blurry", or maybe not filling the entire screen).
