In the market for an LCD monitor. I like my desktop to be at 1280x1024 but I like to play games at 1600x1200. I know that it is bad to get a native res LCD monitor that is 1600x1200 and play a lower res but does that pixelation happen if you get a 1280x1024 and play on 1600x1200? Are you just stuck with the native resolution for best picture?

The native and maximum resolution on LCD monitors are the same. If you get an LCD with a native/maximum resolution of 1280x1024, you will not be able to "play" at 1600x1200.

well highest resolution always has the best picture on any screen just because of the fast that there are more pixels. but some lcds do have trouble with lower resolution. even though you set your resolution lower its still using all the pixels on the screen because the number of pixels cannot be changed. a ctr monitor does not have this problem.

the only share or "clear" resolutions would be 1600X1200, 800X600 because the pixels line up. when the screen is 800X600 the lcd uses 4 of the native resolution pixels to make one pixel. on 1280X1024, its using like 1 and a half so the picutre may not be as clear.

If you run at the max res possible with a refresh rate of 60hz, it's no good. 60hz can cause eyestrain. Any high resolution with a refresh rate above 60hz is good.
