question for 1920x1080 lcd owners

I think the scaling generally depends on the actual LCD model, not the native resolution. In my personal experience I have not used a LCD yet that doesn't look blurry unless it's at the native resolution.
 
Here I took a video for you. Keep in mind I used the right aspect ratio resolutions (1920x1080 and 1280x720). I didn't test the 1280x1024 in the video, however I did check it out on my own and got the expected results...extremely squished looking and just plain weird. Anyway, here is a link to my video I captured for you (sorry about quality, took it using my Droid): http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v...on=view&current=video-2010-04-14-16-34-19.flv
 
You can just use your graphics driver to black box out the rest of the screen you know. I just tried it with Catalyst 9.3 on an X1800XT and it works fine so I'm sure newer cards can do it lol.

Dunno why someone would want to do that trying to achieve 1280x1024 on a native 1920x1080 screen. That's just stupid. Buy a native 1280x1024 monitor. 🙂
 
The thing is that I want high resolution but there is an old game I play that requires 1280 X 1024. I was hoping that with black bars it will be ok as some1 mentioned.
