Quite simple.
I prefer it that way.
I have the same question about 1024x768 on a 19in. CRT
To me it makes things look...tiny.
I don't like... tiny.
I'm just more comfortable with that rez... that's all.

I have quite a decent video card. One of the first things I do when I
get a new monitor is stretch what's onscreen to fit the whole monitor.
to get rid of that "black framed void" around everything. But with my
settings, when I switch to 1024x768, everything has that thick black
band around it again, and is off center to the right.
which would cause me to have to readjust my monitor settings.
(I hope that made sense, dunno how else to explain it.)
So yeah... I can switch back and forth quite quickly, but what's on
screen isn't the same at different resolutions.

I know, I always have it set to the highest refresh rate.

800x600...? Why not...?
Is that in some rule book someplace?

>Any comp I use I immediately change this.

Hey, if that works for you... fine.
Again... not trying to be nasty.
It just makes me mad that I have to adjust my settings to run the
software properly... instead of the other way around.
