Hank,
I sure do appreciate the info, my friend. As for the
correct resolution
for your screen, let's gather some other specs to try and
narrow it down.
If I remember correctly (and please correct me if I'm
mistaken), you
have more than one computer. The primary one is the hybrid
Intel IMac that
is set up to dual boot between Windows XP and OS-X (Tiger,
perhaps) while
the other machine runs a Linux distribution exclusively.
I'll need to know
the size (in inches), type (CRT or LCD) and make/model of
the monitors used
for each machine. You've already stated that the Intel/Imac
has an LCD, but
I still need to know the make/model so I can look up its
specs. I also need
to know if the computers have a dedicated video card or are
using integrated
graphics. If the graphics are integrated, I'll need either
the
make/model/version of the graphics chip on your mainboard or
the make/model
of the mainboard itself. Armed with this info, I should be
able to research
the proper/best resolutions for you.
Keep in mind that, by their nature, all LCD monitors
have only one
native resolution that allows the screen to show everything
without
modification to the original video signal. Any other
resolution will force
the video card to interpolate the image (adding or removing
image data as
necessary to make the new size fit the screen). This
usually results in a
less clear image and more of a strain on the graphics
processor.
Peace,
GMan
