Scott,
Thank you. Yes, the plan was to run at the native res. Unless stuff is just
too small to read!
The panel will connect to my Avocent Switchview 4-port kvm switch initially.
I am still digging into my video card(s) to confirm that they can do the
new native res. I suspect visual trouble with my server. It has a very old
on-board ATI RagePro that may be limited. Still unpacking...................
Thank you,
Duncan

Highly recommend that you run LCD screens at their native resolution
-- in this case 1680x1050. I don't think 1600x1200 will work at all--
panels I've used will magnify, but not shrink. Since the pixels on a
LCD are actual physical things, you have a bit less flexibility in
terms of resolutions than CRTs I guess.
You should just have a normal looking desktop (but wider!), with no
stretching.

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

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
