John, With LCD monitors, there is only one specific native resolution. Any other resolution is blurry, not as tack sharp, so you must insure you have drivers for that resolution in order to have acceptable clarity with text, etc. My new 22 Samsung monitor has 1680 x 1050 since it is a

Saludos Dave, All LCD or TFT monitors produce severe picture distortion at any but the default monitor resolution. Make sure that the one you get is not distorted at the resolution you plan to use. Ever saw an oval shaped circle? Just try and change the resolution in your monitor to any

All LCD or TFT monitors produce severe picture distortion at any but the default monitor resolution. I would not care about picture distorsion, but at any but the default monitor resolution the text becomes blurry (not sharp). The cause is that any resolution has to be up or downscaled to

A critical parameter with monitors in amateur radio applications is resolution. $160 for a 20 monitor that can't do better than 1024 x 768 would be no bargain. 1280 x 1024 would be reasonable for that price, but check its reviews for good text readability. You should also verify that the

The 22 monitor that I use is 1680 x 1050 with 32 bit color depth. I would not want it any higher in resolution since it would have smaller icons and characters, however, when you use a document on such a wide screen, you can scale the image font sizes up and down as desired with programs such
