Which screen resolution is best suited for a 17" LCD monitor?

the monitor will generally have a default resolution, and it looks the best at this resolution.

At this point, I believe, you have two options.\n\nhttp://www.screentekinc.com or eBay. I'm afraid it will cost you between 180-300$. It's the price you have to pay.\n\nBefore you shop; however, I would get your gf's resolution. You can do this by: Right-click on the desk top>click properties>click settings.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure a 7300 would support that kind of stuff. I would suggest looking up of the latest version of the driver and installing it. Also, that's some really weird resolution settings. Turn it to 32 bit, that's standard.\n\nI would also suggest that unless the computer is high-end, don't run 3-D screensavers. What are your specs?

I'd go with any 19" Viewsonic with a response time of 12ms or less. These are withing your price range and the response time will make looking at the monitor easier on your eyes because it refreshes quicker.

Dell Ultra Sharp 1704FPV  is the best according to me.\nThe Dell Ultra sharp is just as good for office tasks, and can use digital as well as analog input - a plus since reviews say digital is superior.. This Dell LCD monitor has a swiveling, height-adjustable base and can also pivot to portrait mode for reading long documents and Web pages. The Dell LCD has a resolution of 1280 x 1024

the viewable size of a 17" LCD screen is 17", but on a 17" CRT the viewable size is about 15.5" to prevent from misunderstandings.

While connected to tv right-click desktop, go to properties, click the settings tab and fool around with the resolution and decide the best setting.  other than that all i can tell you is that unless you have a fantastic tv it won't look as good as the laptop's screen.

If you're talking about your desktop, right click on the desktop, choose Properties and then go to the Appearance tab.  You can change the font size to large, etc.  You can also change the icon spacing (i.e. if you make the font big, they might run together).  For best results, make sure that you have your monitor set to a decent resolution.  For a 17" monitor or so, 1024x768 is good ... it's readable.  Newer monitors and video cards will support much higher resolution ... mostly intended for larger (say 22") monitors.\n\nI hope this helps.\n\nRegards, Alan

here are some good sizes\n\nNTSC:\n720 x 540 or 534\nWIDE: 864 x486 or 480\n\nPAL: better\n768 x 576\nWIDE 1024 x 576\nHi-def 1280 x 720\nEXTREME Hi-def 1920 x 1080\n\nhope that helps, heres some more info   PAL:30 fps NTSC:25 fps but recorded at 24\n\nChris\n\n\nALSO!!!!!!! you should keep the menu about 75% of those sizes, which ever size ur using, IE so instead of the menu being 1920 x 1080 it would be 25% smaller than that and centered in the screen

With displays being reasonably priced, why not just invest in a better display?

Samsung SyncMaster 793DF is a conventional CRT computer monitor. Compared to other conventional CRT monitors on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $140. You can use this monitor with your MAC or PC system. The 17" model has a depth of only 14.9 inches. This monitor is a good choice if space is tight. It is designed for those who merely need a basic monitor \n\nThe main difference is that the 793DF will work with a MAC or PC and the 793MB is compatible with a PC only.\n\nHere are the specs on both monitors:\nhttp://reviews.cnet.com/Samsung_SyncMaster_793DF_display_CRT_17/4507-3175_7-30911826.html?tag=sub\n\nhttp://reviews.cnet.com/Samsung_SyncMaster_793MB_display_CRT_17/4507-3175_7-31097065.html?tag=sub
