what screen size for 19 inch Tft ?

boogiemaster

I’ve bought a new 19inch TFT monitor and I want to know what settings people use, like what screen size do you have yours set to?

Thanks

You should have it set to 1280x1024. That applies to any 17" or 19" tft. They don't work in the same way as a CRT where the image can be stretched without suffering from distortion.

You'll be able to run it in other resolutions, but you'll find it slightly blurry and the clarity won't be as good compared with running it in its native resolution of 1280x1024.

I didn’t want to use it with the wrong settings!


Thanks again mate!

Bit off topic but..

All you Flat Screen users out there should put on 'ClearType' to make your screen look so very crisp! It's off by default, but is built into all XP (and maybe others).

Right click dekstop, hit appearance tab, click effects button, and from the second drop down list, select ClearType. I find that it makes such a difference.

Also applies to laptop users!

Some of you may find it useful, others not
