every LCD has 2 great resolutions! by Anonymous Coward · 2003-07-03 08:44 · Score: -1, Offtopic

the native one (pixel to pixel), and 1/4 that (4 LCD pixels for each video pixel)

So come on, everyone! Set that desktop resolution to 200x150 and you'll get SHARP, LARGE fonts. (You may experience a slightly smaller desktop experience.)
