I'm looking to buy and LCD monitor for my desktop at school. I'm looking at mostly 17" models but the most of the specs say the optimal resolution is 1280x1024. I'm using 1024x768 now and almost always do. does the quality of the display fall off if im not using the optimal resolution. Also I'm buying it from a site called newegg.com. Not sure if you all know about it but they have some great deals up there. thanks
