Slight problem, unlike a CRT, the physical resolution of an LCD is fixed in 
hardware. To drop resolution, you either get black borders (which defeates 
the purpose) or you'll have to map more than 1 hardware pixel to each 
software pixel (going from 1024x768 hardware to 800x600 software such as 
when zoomed in you'll need to map 1.6384 (1.28*1.28) hardware pixels to 1 
software pixel). This invariably means things go fuzzy which just seems to 
make things worse for me. Its OK if you're on a 15" 1600x1200 LCD and 
you're dropping to 800x600 because you're mapping 4 hardware pixels (2*2) 
to each software pixel but if you're already pressed for space it sorta 
just gets annoying.
