| What pixel addressabilities are best for my monitor? |

| There is no right answer to this question, because it is subjective. However, my recommendations are:
Monitor Size
Aspect 14" 15" 17" 20"
Ratio
Screen
Addressabilities
640x480 4:3 O O G G
800x600 4:3 A O O G
1024x768 4:3 NR A O O
1280x960 4:3 NR NR A O
1280x1024 5:4 NR NR A O
1600x1200 4:3 -- -- NR A
1600x1280 5:4 -- -- NR A
O - Optimal G - Pixels are large enough to appear grainy A - Acceptable NR - Not Recommended - unless you like looking through a magnifying glass Keep in mind that the aspect ratio can be important. Standard televisions and computer monitors are designed to work with a 4:3 aspect ratio. If you use a 5:4 aspect ratio on a monitor with a 4:3, your screen image will be compressed vertically, making circles appear as ellipses. The error associated with using a pixel addressability aspect ratio of 5:4 with a monitor os 4:3 is about 6%. |
