[QUOTE="Macman, post: 93640, member: 7132"] yes, you'd see what you see on your 17" display, just smaller. ok, heres the simplification: 1024x764 is how many pixels wide and tall what you see on the screen is, as you've probably seen if you use photoshop, pixels can stretch, so the difference between a large and small screen is that the pixels are bigger on a bigger screen and have more info per pixel. imagine cutting your screen into a grid, a grid 1024 blocks wide, and 764 blocks tall, youd get more data per block in a bigger grid. ps. the image is to show the grid idea, its my niece, ignore where her name is, I forgot that was there.
