Hi Ray
>> There is always a recommended resolution for CRTs but for different reasons to TFTs. For 17" it's 1024*768, 19" is 1280*1024 and 1600*1200 for 21". It's just the resolution that the monitor works best with. <<
When you say, "the resolution that the monitor works best with" are you saying that you get better picture quality (as with a TFT's optimum) or just that, electrically, it's the most efficient setting?
Over the years I've tended to use 640x480 with my first 14", 800x600 with my 15", 1024x768 with the 17" and 1152x886 with my 19". I've not used these sizes for quality but solely because, each time I got a larger monitor, this was the resolution that seemed to give me the same size text as the previous one, a size I'd got used to and was comfortable with. Now that I've got this 18" TFT (whose diagonal is near as dammit the same as a 19" CRT) I've got used to the slightly smaller font given by 1280x1024, though the clarity of the screen helps and, with use, I'm now perfectly happy with it, especially the, effectively, greater amount of 'real estate'. I did try changing the font size in Settings>Advanced but don't think the custom size displays as well as the default 96dpi.
