-=PCTechTalk=- Re: resolution for LCD

Hank,
    I sure do appreciate the info, my friend.  As for the correct resolution 
for your screen, let's gather some other specs to try and narrow it down.

    If I remember correctly (and please correct me if I'm mistaken), you 
have more than one computer.  The primary one is the hybrid Intel IMac that 
is set up to dual boot between Windows XP and OS-X (Tiger, perhaps) while 
the other machine runs a Linux distribution exclusively.  I'll need to know 
the size (in inches), type (CRT or LCD) and make/model of the monitors used 
for each machine.  You've already stated that the Intel/Imac has an LCD, but 
I still need to know the make/model so I can look up its specs.  I also need 
to know if the computers have a dedicated video card or are using integrated 
graphics.  If the graphics are integrated, I'll need either the 
make/model/version of the graphics chip on your mainboard or the make/model 
of the mainboard itself.  Armed with this info, I should be able to research 
the proper/best resolutions for you.

    Keep in mind that, by their nature, all LCD monitors have only one 
native resolution that allows the screen to show everything without 
modification to the original video signal.  Any other resolution will force 
the video card to interpolate the image (adding or removing image data as 
necessary to make the new size fit the screen).  This usually results in a 
less clear image and more of a strain on the graphics processor.

Peace,
GMan
