I'll use it as an excuse to replace the viewsonic 17" with a dell 20" or 24"er.

well for your sake, do yourself a favour and get the 24". they way i see it, is if you have the money, and the space to put it, you would kick yourself not to get a slightly bigger screen.

im going to cry,vga for those resolutions is fucking dumb, why do they have like native lcdtv resolutions, further more if only vga has those options it mean i cant have 1024x768i

Chop off the left and right sides of the internal 1280x720 image and scale up to fit.
ie: 1280x720 -chop-> 960x720 -scale-> 1280x1024
end result: lose detail, but seems silly since the image already does fit, but for the sake of FULLSCREEN, the image has to be altered. I hope I'm wrong!!!

16:9 Display with resolution at 1280x720.
end result: Perfect. No change needed.

16:9 Display with resolution greater than 1280x720, like 1080 display.
Just scale up.
ie: 1280x720 -scale-> 1920x1080
end result: No loss of detail, though may be less sharp. Of course, 1920x1080 means 1080p. But MS has only announced 1080i support which makes things a little tricky for those with 1080p displays. The nature of a 1080p LCD display can't naturally show 1080i but will have to convert it to 1080p. The conversion can be good, or it could be bad.

Lets hope there is going to be a letterbox option for 4:3 resolutions such as 1280x1024. If the game internally runs at 1280x720 (720p), the big question is how does it make the transition to 1280x1024? Does it just show us more on top and bottom like with movies, where they just remove the matte and we see more things like the microphone boom. Unlikely unless they design all games for non-widescreen and then matte the top and bottom, which would mean that widescreen has less detail than non-widescreen.
