    True but not always the whole story.

    My laptop LCD screen has a native resolution of 1920 x 1200.

    At that setting everything is too small to see properly even with extra large fonts etc. I rarely use that setting.

    I usually use it set at 1280 x 800 which is ideal for most applications.

    I change it to 800 x 600 occasionally to play Hearts and a few other things that are too small even at 1280 x 800.
