Non-native resolutions on LCD monitors

[clicknext]

For my LCD, previously when I used a lower than native resolution, everything on screen would look blurry, but everything was still in proportion and proper-looking. Now, when I go to non-native resolution, the image is as clear as it is on native resolution, but everything on screen looks either too small or too big. For example, if I draw two identical lines in photoshop, one could be thicker than the other depending on where on screen I'm putting it. Does anyone know how to change this back to the first instance? The one where everything looks a bit blurry.

It's purely a monitor issue because it's like this at POST, and if I take a screenshot of a non-native resolution, it doesnt look screwed up viewing it in native.

I have a Viewsonic VG151 and I looked all over the monitor controls, but couldn't find one that controlled this.

Wait what do you mean? Are you saying you went to a non native resolution and then went back to the native one? Now it looks messed? That has happen to me before, I have a auto-adjust opition in mine that fixes it. I've also noticed if I change my refresh rate things get screwed up.

He means that he's getting precisely the scaling artifacts I was describing in the other thread.

No, he's saying that previously when he used a non-native resolution it was blurry but now it's trying to scale the image without blurring and as a result some of the image elements are distorted and incorrectly sized.

Clicknext, I'm guessing one of the LCD's OSD options might have a toggle to control how the scaling works. Also try poking around the display properties in the Windows driver control panel.
