I don't like LCD's but I have read quite a bit about them.
Sceptre is a decent brand, and it just may be that the /usual/
slight to annoying blurriness is not a problem at these
particular resolutions. Also, this one really changes VERY
little from the recommended one.

Try setting it to something lower (1200/768, 800/600) and see if
you get blurriness. Just to find out.

AFAIK, you can't damage an LCD monitor (AOT a CRT) by running it
at a higher-than recommended resolution. Also, I believe the
refresh rate for /all/ of them at /all/ resolutions is 60Hz
since there is no "flicker effect" due to the way the LCD's
work.

Of course, you realize that you're just getting a /very/
slightly wider image, and depending on other settings, it may
give you nothing but "fatter" people.

There ARE some people who will go for the //max// size (on
computer monitors AND TV's) even if all they get ARE fatter
people (more accurately called horizontal size distortion or
something). ... Hopefully you're not one of them.

Any image of a perfect circle and a special "tweak image"
program are highly recommended to get the most out of your
monitor.

I have never, needless to say, tried it on an LCD but
TestScreens from

is really great. Lots of other cool programs too.
