I have a > friend who says this looks better, but frankly with text programs like > Microdot, I don't see it. A TFT-Monitor has a defined amount of horizontal and vertical pixel. My 18"-TFT have 1280x1024 pixel. If you use lower resolutions like 800x600 or 1024x768 you get a accordingly smaller, centered picture. You can zoom this to full screen size, but then the pixels will be interpolated and this results in a soften screen. This softening effect can be reduzed by optimizing the monitor. While playing this games this softening doesn't matter, but while reading/writing text I prefer a sharper display.
