I'm thinking of buying a 17 inch panel but they all have a native resolution of 1280 by 1024. Am I missing something because to me this is incorrect because it is not in the ratio of 4:3 and so each pixel on the screen is not square it is rectangular. This doesn't matter for text and graphics but for images and video will the images be stretched and people look fat etc? If so is there any way to correct it? If you move away from the native resolution then I assume the image is poor. I don't want to have to manually re-size every window which contains images or video.
