Automatic switching of screen resolution

I guess I'm the weirdo. I'm running at 1024 x 900.

If the TFT is 5:4 _and_ has that resolution, why not?

What I mean is, why do people buy them? They have no actual advantages over a 17" TFT that's 5:4 and 1280x1024. You have to put them further away from you to obtain the same picture quality. With a 19" and a 17" at the same distance pixel aliasing would be far worse on the 19" due to the lower pixel density.

If you want a big TFt, go for a 20.1" 4:3 running 1600x1200. That gives the same 0.25mm pixel pitch as you get with a 1280x1024 17" 5:4 or 1280x960 on a 17" 4:3 CRT.
