At 800x600, you can tell that the display is "doubling" all the pixels. All the dots are fat and fuzzy. At 1024x768, there are 2 modes, stretched and not stretched. The not stretched looks OK, but you have 2 big blocks of black on the left and the right. Thestretched looks like the 800x600 mode, with the fat fuzzy pixels. The native resolution is 1152x768, and looks nice and sharp. The point is that the panel has fixed sized pixels, and works best at one resolution. Lower resolutions are obtained by either cropping the panel or "scaling" the pixels, which doesn't really work out. Pete __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
