All of the LCDs at school have 1280x1024 native resolution. I hate it; everything looks squished and fat.
Works fine for me on my 17 inch LCD. I do miss 1600x1200 though.Originally posted by: Shooters

but those LCDs are physically 5:4
they wouldn't looked very squished . . . it'd be different if you put 1280x1024 on a 1600x1200 panel . . .
his CRT is physically 4:3, but he's putting a 5:4 resolution on it

You're saying the screen is physically 5:4? I've never seen such a thing.

I got an IBM P260(21") about a year ago and it's great. $100 used, but it has a large crack.

yeah, go ahead and measure the screen dimensions, you'll see that the width is 1.25x longer than the height, meaning its 5:4

Would you really notice 64 pixels ?
Yep, I notice it a lot in photographs (I'm a PS freak) and movies. People that claim not to notice a difference either don't use their computer for anything besides email, or have just managed to convince themselves that it's "right" that way despite all evidence otherwise.Originally posted by: Shooters
I do, especially when you're looking at something that's supposed to be circular but it looks like an ellipse.Originally posted by: NightCrawler

Why mess around with the settings if you can just use the correct resolution?Originally posted by: Ornery
Get the fvck out of here. We've got screwballs on this forum who say they get used to the stretched image of an HDTV viewing 4:3 material, yet 1.33 res. on a 1.25 monitor is unbearable... puhlease! You could EASILY adjust that out with the screen's vertical size adjustment IF it really were noticeable. :roll:
