A:User want the best possible display quality regardless of the size of the image. However LCD

panel characteristics require some tradeoffs. For example, the 181AS highest resolution is 1280x1024. In other words, there are 1280x1024 or 1310,720 pixels on this 15-inch LCD screen. When the monitor needs to display at a lower resolution, say 640x480, the image on the screen is smaller because it requires fewer pixels.
