    he has CRT....

    you see with LCD tech you have a screen and set # of pixels....

    his pixel res would be 1680x1050 and so that would the number of pixels...

    CRT just draws the pixels and unlike CRT it wouldnt matter what res you can try it will be looking like it was natively drawn on a lcd....
    Um what?
    Can you explain that better please?

    Enough said, I don't beleive you know what your talking about and you have probably never seen the advantages of using a DVI cable compared to VGA so lets just try and help in the areas we know something about.
    As I said in the rest of my post, I have dealt with many LCDs as everybody else I know has LCDs.

    These are the options he should have and anything else means that he has a problem and not by some miracle is the problem going to be some sort of blessing meaning that he needs to get back his native resolution end of story.

    While CRTs are capable of displaying multiple video resolutions without introducing artifacts, LCDs produce crisp images only in their native resolution and, sometimes, fractions of that native resolution. Attempting to run LCD panels at non-native resolutions usually results in the panel scaling the image, which introduces blurriness or "blockiness" and is susceptible in general to multiple kinds of HDTV blur. Many LCDs are incapable of displaying very low resolution screen modes (such as 320x200) due to these scaling limitations.

    While CRT monitors can usually display images at various resolutions
    , an LCD monitor has to rely on interpolation (scaling of the image), which causes a loss of image quality. An LCD has to scale up a smaller image to fit into the area of the native resolution. This is the same principle as taking a smaller image in an image editing program and enlarging it; the smaller image loses its sharpness when it is expanded. This is especially problematic as most resolutions are in a 4:3 aspect ratio (640×480, 800×600, 1024×768, 1280×960, 1600×1200) but there are odd resolutions that are not, notably 1280×1024. If a user were to map 1024×768 to a 1280×1024 screen there would be distortion as well as some image errors, as there is not a one-to-one mapping with regards to pixels. This results in noticeable quality loss and the image is much less sharp.

    there you go...

    If you say so.

    Do I see Quick-Launch Icons on your taskbar?
    If so, how did you enable quick launch?

    Well as I said I have used MANY LCDs in various places and have never noticed any loss of image quality from not using the LCD at it's Native Resolution. And no, I don't have poor eyesight.

    Also, in your profile it says you have a family yet you have pornographic images in a slideshow on your sidebar?

    To enable the sidebar created a new folder and name it Quick Launch and placed all your shortcuts in that folder and then just right click on the Taskbar and select new toolbar and browse for the folder you just created and once you do that unlock the Taskbar and position it where you want it and then right click on the Taskbar and deselect sow text and show title.

    Great idea for creating your own quick launch bar. I hate how when you close pinned programs they stay where you closed them, in the middle of all your other open stuff.

    Ok guys, I have a LCD. This one:
    Newegg.com - SCEPTRE X22WG-1080P Black 22" 2ms(GTG) Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 2000:1 Built in Speakers - LCD Monitors

    The native resolution is 1680X1050, but every OS i have ever installed for some reason recognize it as 1920X1080. The box says 1680X1050.

    When I use 1680X1050, I get great image quality (except with Windows7)
    When I use higher, it becomes blurry.

    My problem is with Windows 7 when I set the resolution to 1680X1050, it becomes really stretched out and looks horrible.

    I cannot get a good resolution to work with in 7 so I am back on my copy of Vista.

    I will try the DVI cable and see what happens.

    I'm curious as to why it is listed as a 1080p LCD with a Native Resolution of 1680x1050 and is apparently blurry with 1080p. You are aware that 1920x1080 is 1080p right?
