What does “native resolution” mean?

Auto Date Saturday, March 15th, 2008

LCD monitors display information well at only the resolution they are designed for, which is known as the native resolution. Digital displays address each individual pixel using a fixed matrix of horizontal and vertical dots. If you change the resolution settings, even if you actually lessen the resolution, the LCD scales the image and the quality suffers. Native resolutions are typically:

  • 17 inch = 1024×768
  • 19 inch = 1280×1024
  • 20 inch = 1600×1200
