With an LCD screen you get a fixed number of pixels.

Usually it's 1280 wide, and approxamating 1024 pixels onto that is a bit of a fudge.

Imagine recording 5 CD's and placing them into 6 CD Cases - it can't be done, and you can't split the CD's up into anything smaller. The best compromise you can do is to have one of the CDs duplicated twice, and put into two of the cases. It's a nasty fudge.


With a non-LCD screen, you can choose how many CD cases you use (up to its max resolution), so no fudging = sharper picture.

I don't notice in games, but do in Windows. However, if you aren't super-into-your-computer, it's no big deal.
