...The native resolution of the Formac Gallery 2010 is 1600x1200, this means that anything below this resolution(while it will work) will look blocky and not sharp, this does happen with all TFTs which are not run at their native resolution, but if you're used to a 19" or smaller TFT you might not have had to run at such a High res before.
