k so currently my 17'' (inch) monitor is at 1024x768 and i want to icreas ethe resolution for playing video games, *cough* Halo *cough*, anyways current LCD monitors the same size can run at 1280x1024, but when i went to "properties" and "settings" to increase the resolution, the option was not there, so i had to open up the console for my video card (FX5600 XT) and 1280x1024 was the highest resolution option, so i put it as that, and unlike previoius resolutions the screen looked almost the exact same as 1024x768, yet my screen was vibrating really quickly (the picture, not the monitor itself) that i could notice, and after not even a min. this started to hurt my eyes..i also figured out once u increase the resolution u also should increas the DPI (to make the icons, etc. a normal size) but how can i attain a good resolution without making my monitor go crazy, here's what i have:
it's a Dell E770 CRT monitor running at 32 bit. colour
512mb RAM
Pentium 4 1.4 GHz
150 GB hard drive
Nvidia FX 5600 XT 256mb
