Popped into PC World today and saw rather a nice looking Sharp 16” LCD monitor for about £700 … it has the same resolution as a 17” LCD (1,280 x 1,024 pixels) rather than the usual 1,024 x 768 pixels of the 15” panels.

 

I asked to see it running windows at 1,280 x 1,024 rather than the PC World rolling presentation shown at the 1,024 x 768 – the native resolution of the 14” and 15” panels - that it was being used at (so that I could see it working *WITHOUT* interpolating the image up to be full screen). I was told that it wasn’t possible because the HP Pavillion PC that was driving the bank of LCD displays *COULDN’T RUN AT THAT RESOLUTION* - biggest load of bollocks I’ve ever heard of course and when I queried that this just didn’t seem feasible - a modern PC unable to generate a 1,280 x 1,024 image – the guy got quite snotty and insisted that he knew the capabilities of their demonstration kit better than I did.
