Or the lower-resolution image simply takes up only a portion of the display (usually centered). I don't own a flat-panel desktop display, but I've used laptops with color LCD displays. The IBM Thinkpad 600E that my I used at a previous job allowed for either stretching or centering of sub-1024x768 modes. The stretching looked vile, so I preferred centering. Craig
