I am running 1920X1600 resolution. WOW ! You must have really good eyes <VBG> What size is your monitor?? It is a 15.4 inch LCD display on a laptop. So what's the point in running such a huge resolution? The LCD won't be
These days laptops come with HDTV TFT screens 1920x1200, not 1600) and these TFT screens do physically have 1920x1200 dots. I've seen a few of those on the new dell M60 laptops, and the quality of the display is simply stunning. Running at lower resolutions means the (say) 1280 X-pixels will be spread out over ther 1920 real pixels, meansing you actually *loose* clarity (as some picels will be doubled while other don't)
working in anything over 1200x1024, and more likely 1024x768. If you drive an LCD at over its physical resolution, you lose clarity. On a CRT, you can do it because there is no 1:1 correlation between pixels and screen dots, but even there you hit clarity limits because of the physical screen resolution.
As above, the physical resolution is 1920x1200
