The only time you have to worry about distortion on a modern TFT panel
is if you run it at a non-native resolution, at which time it will
either rescale the image, display black around the edges, or crop
(depending on the screen, the settings, and the resolutions chosen).
Most 17, 18 and 19" non-widescreen panels are 5:4 because the native
resolution is 1280x1024 (5:4 ratio). A 1024x768 panel is 4:3, which is
common on 15" panels. A 20" 1600x1200 panel has 4:3 dimensions also.
If you have a conventional CRT monitor you probably shouldn't run it at
1280x1024 (which is very popular) because the aspect ratio will be
incorrect - use 1280x960 instead.

The 19" LCDs are made in the 5:4 aspect shape. All the CRT monitors
I've known are in 4:3 shape. You need a resolution with the same
ratios to get proper geometry, unless your LCD has non-square pixels
(very uncommon for computer displays).
Yes, I think I realized that after I wrote that message. Although this LCD looks
pretty well the same shape as my old CRTs, it has to be slightly different. It's
not a lot different though. In any case it seems you don't have to worry about
distortion on an LCD because it's not possible.
