Vague resolution with my new lcd monitor

[DonB]

However, this looks worse than what I've seen on even the cheapest of LCD monitors. The image in the first post, is that a screenshot, or did you create that image to illustrate the problem?

Its a real made screenshot, my graphic card i rlly dunno :S

AFAIK, an unmodified image is sent to the LCD which scales it to fit, causing the effect we describe.
So if you haven't actually photographed your display or re-created the effect in Photoshop, it may not a problem with your LCD after all.

Then what could it be.. its a real printscreen screenshot loaded in photoshop.

When you paste the printscreen image into photoshop, what is its dimension? Since your game is in 320x200 the image's dimension should be either 320x200 or 640x400, if not (e.g. something like 1280x1024), there's high chance that your graphics card driver did the scaling. Try experimenting with your card's driver settings, there may be some chance that you will get it look a bit better.

Anyway, with LCDs you can't expect much. That's one main reason I will never buy a LCD display, since I use to change resolutions A LOT.

I have noticed the issue of the image seeming blurry with my new laptop, but i think it's more of the fact of bigger screens. Previously i've used 10-12 inch screens. With the new 15 inch-20 inch +widescreen, the pixels are alot bigger. With my new 15.5 inch, if played in 320x240 mode, the pixels are streched, in 320x200, the pixels are the right width... funny how things come around.
