    After purchasing a LCD monitor, can the screen resolution be changed?

    Question #63673. Asked by pjotr.

    McGruff

    Native Resolution

    Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors display information well at only the resolution they are designed for, which is known as the native resolution. Digital displays address each individual pixel using a fixed matrix of horizontal and vertical dots. If you change the resolution settings, the LCD scales the image and the quality suffers. Native resolutions are typically:

    17 inch = 1024x768
    19 inch = 1280x1024
    20 inch = 1600x1200
