My eyes aren't that great, so this is the resolution I currently use
on my 17" LCD.

Does anyone know if this resolution will stretch or squish text and
images on a 19"?

Depends if it's a widescreen or not. If it isn't, it won't. If it is,
it will.

Also, running the LCD at non native resolutions gives you a blurred
image. You'd be better off running it at the native resolution and
upping the font sizes.

looks fine at that res on my 19inch lcd.. (not widescreen).
