screen resolution - 7/20/2005 10:29:57   
Is there a direct relationship between monitor size and screen resolution - maximum screen resolution? in other words, lets say 800 pixwide - is that people who only has, say, a 14 inch monitor or is it the era the monitor was made? i dont know if i expressed this well.

I found this on monitorworld.com


                                Monitor Size            
                        Aspect  14"     15"     17"     20"
                        Ratio
Screen 
Addressabilities         

640x480                 4:3     O       O       G       G       
800x600                 4:3     A       O       O       G
1024x768                4:3     NR      A       O       O       
1280x960                4:3     NR      NR      A       O
1280x1024               5:4     NR      NR      A       O
1600x1200               4:3     --      --      NR      A
1600x1280               5:4     --      --      NR      A


O - Optimal
G - Pixels are large enough to appear grainy
A - Acceptable
NR - Not Recommended - unless you like looking through a magnifying glass


Keep in mind that the aspect ratio can be important. Standard televisions and computer monitors are designed to work with a 4:3 aspect ratio. If you use a 5:4 aspect ratio on a monitor with a 4:3, your screen image will be compressed vertically, making circles appear as ellipses. The error associated with using a pixel addressability aspect ratio of 5:4 with a monitor os 4:3 is about 6%.

My reasoning: A dell 700m laptop cannot use an external monitor with resolution greater than 1024x768, so in that sense, there might be a hardware issue somewhere. I think it will depend on the setup you have.
