I like my 19" LCD monitor as well (Dell Ultrasharp 1905). 1280x1024 is the
defacto resolution for 19", but for 20" monitors most except the very
cheapest are 1600x1200.
This de facto standard bit me on the $%*! a while back.
I had a 21" monitor in the office and a 17" in the studio, both CRTs.
The 21" at 1600 x1200 and the 17" at 1024 x 768, "de facto" standards.
The 17" was swapped for a 19" at 1280 x 1024.
A model that I'd worked with, many times, said, I'd made her look fat! I was
dismissive at the time and got on with the job. Later when looking at the
pics on the office 21" her "fatness" was gone!
It took me a while to realise that 1280 x 1024 is 5:4 not 4:3 the format of
the screens.
I now run the 19" monitor at 1280 x 960 and my models love me, again!
