LCD's have a native resolution, if that's what you're referring to; however, they all display multiple resolutions. It's just like a CRT with regard to reslution functionality. They just look a hell of a lot better.

yeah. so my L90D+ is native 1280 x 1024, meaning that is the number of pixels the actual LCD screen has. Obviously, it works best when you use this as the resolution as every point the computer tries to display has exactly one pixel. If you try to show more than that, the screen physically cannot and will either not allow you to go to that resolution or will have to leave rows and columns out . . it can't adjust the cathode ray to a finer focus like a CRT can.

Likewise, if you try to show less, and the resolution you try to use doesn't divide evenly into the native, you get uneven pixel size. It really isn't a pretty sight.

So to answer your question: an LCD can use more than one resolution, but it looks like crap in anything but its native resolution.

You just have to ignore KruptosAngelos. He's a n00b and hasn't been around here to know anyones history or personality. He takes everything literally then acts like some self imposed quaility control agent. We've seen his kind come and go. He'll be gone soon enough.

I suspect he may be Alkemyst in disguise
