re: resolution problem Tuesday, November 12, 2002 at 8:44 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ricer46 (22013 messages posted) LCD displays are designed to run at a specific resolution. There have been several articles written on the subject. You are supposed to buy the resolution you want to use. I've never owned one, or a laptop, but I've done a considerable amount of reading on the subject since I was considering a purchase a few years ago. A CRT can interpolate pixels while an LCD does not do that very well. And of course you can't change the screen size the way you can on a CRT, because the display is completely digital, there's no scan rate to change, and no analog adjustments that can be used to change magnification. Your only hope (I confess ignorance on this one) is the nVidia driver. On the desktop version there is a screen mag and centering adjustment - if there is not one for the laptop version, then you have few choices 1600x1200 as you bought it, or 1600x1200 with the outer pixels turned off.
