K so i wanted to hook up a LG RM-23LZ50 23" LCD HDTV to a computer with an ati aiw x800xt video card. http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10059259&catid=

Will i be able to run windows xp home at a resolution of 1920x1080 or am i stuck with the native resolution of 1280x720(768?) ?

Also, I cant figure out the dot pitch of this tv...not even future shop knows it :dunno: im wondering if its smaller or equal to 0.258 mm.

any help would be great
thnx, Horaysh

You can run 1920x1080 resolution but everything will be blurry and unusable for day to day use. You'll be stuck at 1280x768.

because LCD screens have a native resolution, and anything but using that resolution will look blurry and not as crisp. Same with laptops also.

It's worse than blurry when you use a resolution HIGHER than native resolution. Lots of pixels go missing!
