I have a few choices. Interestingly, I have different
choices depending on the connector. HDMI gives me
options different from DVI. (AMD 760G graphics with
Acer 24" monitor.) Native resolution
is generally just too small. I'm running at 1440x900.
Suggested is 1920x1080. There are also several other
options in the 16:9 and 16:10 ratios.
