800x600 would work fine with a 1600x1200 and still be sharp because 1600x1200 is an integer multiple of 800x600. It's where the pixels don't scale up precisely is when you have the problems. That said, new panels are pretty good about scaling and it might be good enough for you. Old ones used to just do crap nearest neighbour interpolation and it looked really nasty.

As Digan17 said, you just need to try it out. It may be acceptable for you.


Ok, cool. Thanks again for the help. 1600x1200 scales nicely to 800x600, but 1920x1200??? The widescreen makes it unlikely to scale to 1600x1200 well, I think.

I'll report back after I test. Am supposed to get the PC and monitor on Monday.

This board rocks, as do you dudes.
