I have a 15.4 inch laptop and i just changed my lcd due to a dead pixel and i must set my maximum reso which is 1680X1050 or else my stuff appear a little fuzzy. Is it good?
The higher your resolution is, the clearer your picture is. That's what high definition is. High resolution. The best resolution you can have is the highest resolution you find practical.

The best resolution is your screen's native resolution. For example, on my Samsung 21.3" screen, unless I set it to 1600x1200, it looks very much like crap.
Hardly practical then, is it?elbekko wrote:

LCD and TFT native resolution > CRT any resolution

Otherwise, what he said doesn't make sense at all =/

No, what I'm saying is the same as I was saying in my first post. The highest resolution you find to be practical is the best resolution for you. Some people don't mind LCDs running higher or lower than native resolutions, and obviously if it's practical for them, it's the best resolution for them. If you don't like running non-native resolutions, then 1280x1024 is the best resolution for you. Obviously.
What I'm getting at is that there's no "best" resolution, and that having a high resolution is just fine if that's what you find to be the best resolution for your monitor. There's a recommended resolution, but one has to assume that he read his manual and found out about that before he started asking questions on a forum.

Yes, there is a best resolution. And it's the native resolution, nothing else.
Your comment on my post did not make much sense. I was just saying that anything but my native resolution looks like crap.

Well i have no idea whats with my notebook. I sent back for a dead pixel exchange and they switched and lcd for me i think and now i cant use 1280X1024 without the stuff appearing not as crystal clear as before i sent in for repair.
Native resolution means the highest resolution on an LCD screen.mikkel wrote:

It's always best to have the screen at that resolution because it looks much clearer.
The word 'native' is used because other resolutions tend to make the screen blurry and unclear.
Seems like you got a better screen than your previous one. Hardly a problem.Ayumiz wrote:

Run it at the highest resolution resolution!
Increase font and icon sizes if you have trouble seeing.

Again, some people prefer non-native resolutions. The "best" resolution is the resolution that the user is most comfortable with. The intended resolution is a completely different thing.Gawwad wrote:

I'm not incapable of understanding that at all, it's a fact that the native resolution will always look better. The user preferring it is an entirely different thing.
Well, user preference decides what's "best", so it's not really a different thing at all.elbekko wrote:

Of course you can use what ever resolution your screen supports, but the image produces is not as accurate as with the native resolution.
He means that it looks like crap on all other resolutions except 1600x1200.-101-InvaderZim wrote:

Well, I don't think anyone really wants some rows of pixels to span over two rows, whiles others are cut in half, making waves of stretched/compressed text or graphics on the screen. LCDs can basically run good in two resolutions; Native and half native. (Half native being half the native resolution. 1280x1024 -> 640x512) Half native makes every pixel four pixels, and, in theory, should work good on the majority of monitors.mikkel wrote:

I took the time to make a picture of a couple of one pixel wide white/black stripes, aswell as a perfectly square cross, and snap a picture of that on my screen's native resolution of 1280x1024, compared to 1152x864.
1280x1024. Everything looks fine, the lines are equally wide and the cross is square.

1152x864. The monitor compensates for the lower resolution by adding a sort of low-quality anti-alashing, stretching one pixel over several physical pixels:

Both pictures were taken with the same camera, at about the same distance. The rainbow effect is unavoidable, ufortunatly.
Here's the test picture:

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Yes having a large 'Resolution' is good

However if one has a CRT, the biggest resolution, which both the graphic card and the monitor support, is often the best.

In my understanding, CRT's can use a wide range of resolutions without the problems LCD's face.DeathUnlimited wrote:

No but having a larger penis is.

@ Gawwad's latest: Yes, they can. They physically change the size of the pixels.

Yes. I can go anything between 640x480 and 1600x1200.Gawwad wrote:
