XGA @ 1280 X 1024?

[josboh]

I want to buy a 19" LCD monitor that states its XGA but has a max resolution of 1280 X 1024. I had always thought that max res for XGA was 1024 and then SXGA gets up to 1280. Whats the deal here?

native rez is 1024, but can go up to 1280?

A 19" would likely be 1280x1024 native. If it was 1024x768 I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole as the pixels would be these big globs on your screen.
