A question before purchasing LCD monitor..

August 6th, 2016

I am planning to purchase a 24″ LCD monitor.. I am used to viewing everything very tiny (for eg: I have currently set a resolution of 1280 X 1024 on my 17″ monitor)
Similarly, I want to keep the resolution in the LCD monitor, higher than it’s recommended resolution of 1920 X 1200.. would that harm the monitor or would there be any other problem, doing so?
Eagerly waiting for your expert guidance.. Thanks in advance

Answer #1
well, to my knowledge you cant damage a monitor by putting the reso up high as monitors will only display resolutions which they can use. However if u tried running the beast 24″ at say 640×480 then after a while it could do some damage, running a monitor at too low a resolution can screw it up.
Answer #2
The recommended resolution is the monitors max resolution. You cant set it any higher. Ive never heard of a monitor being damaged by low resolution and theres no reason to think that it would. Also 1280×1024 is standard for a 17″ monitor so if you think the icons are tiny on that…

I don’t think you can set the resol
ution higher than the max resolution :p
It will just show a black screen I guess and revert back to the previous in 15 seconds

i don’t think that you can do it either… your gfx card can show the unsupported resolutions but you won’t be able to select them.

Thanks for the replies

Though the recommended resolution is 1920 X 1200, there is scope for a higher resolution Also 1280x1024 is standard for a 17" monitor so if you think the icons are tiny on that...Sorry, I think you have mistaken…
I am using LG 700E..
…to quote from the specifications:
“Max Resolution : 1280 x 1024 / 66 Hz
Recomend Resolution : 1024 x 768 / 85 Hz”

I could not find this model on LG’s website.. but there was LG 700S, whose specification also states:
“Resolution
RecommendedVESA 1024 x 768@85Hz
MaxVESA 1280 x 1024@60Hz”

Oops! I don’t know about that, though!!!
Sad thing for me
