LCD’s are nothing like CRT’s. You can’t really pick the resolution. They only look good when you run them at their native resolution.

So, if 1024/768 isn’t enough for you, no matter how cheap, the LCD’s you’re looking at are basically useless (and probably why they’re so cheap in the first place).
