Is it possible to use any 19" LCD monitor with 1600x1200 mode? They all seems to support only some 1200x1000 mode.

Are there any 19" monitors what supports 1600x1200 mode? Otherwise I have to buy 20" monitor what costs nearly twice as much as 19" do. 500$ for extra inch!!!

You will find CRT's that will do that resolution but for LCD's you are SOL.

Native Resolutions

All LCD screens can actually display only a single given resolution referred to as the native resolution. This is the physically number of horizontal and vertical pixels that make up the LCD matrix of the display. Setting a computer display to a resolution different than this resolution will either cause the monitor to use a reduced visible area of the screen or it will have to do interpolation. This interpolation attempts to blend multiple pixels together to produce a similar image to what you would see if the monitor were to display it at the given resolution but it can result in fuzzy images.

Here are some of the common native resolutions found in LCD monitors:
· 14-15": 1024x768 (XGA)
· 17-19": 1280x1024 (SXGA)
· 20"+: 1600x1200 (UXGA)

Most wide aspect ratio screens will have variations on these resolutions such as WXGA (1280x800) or WXGA+ (1400x1050).
