You do realise that a panel with 1050 pixels on the vertical axis won't actually be able to display 1200 pixels of height? if it'll even take the signal it'll have to randomly lose detail from somewhere.

why not just output 1680x1050 (which is 16:10 btw, not 16:9) to it???

I have been using a ViewSonic VA721 17" flat panel. I assume that its' aspect ratio is 4:3. I use it at a resolution of 1024x768 (which is its' native resolution). It will do other higher resolutions also.

The replacement (new) panel is a 20" wide-screen flat panel. Its' native resolution is 1680x1050. And I suppose this panel is configured for a 16:9 aspect ratio as normal. I plan to try a 1600x1200 res with it. Believe the desktop will be squashed top-to- bottom (1050/1200). Am I close?

I have searched the web since I ordered trying to find out what sort of video presentation I can expect. What I'd like to know is:
Desktop normal but at left side with black bar on the right.
Desktop normal but at right side with black bar on left side.
Desktop centered with black bars on the left and right sides.

Would enjoy your thoughts.  I am unpacking it ATM.
Thank you,
Duncan
