Anything over 720x480 is considered to be HD resolution for NTSC standards.
I was speaking on aspect ratios specifically. You could make a SD 16:9 picture. and or a HD 4:3 picture.
I'd much rather game 16:9 then 4:3 anyday...

j/k
I hear you on the 2001fp... I had one for a week, returned it because it does some funky stuff in between the pixels.. there is like this black area... you don't get flat color on that monitor like you do with the 2000FP... you do get 16ms response time, but to me color is more important than response time...

Response Time (typical): 12ms grey-to-grey, 16ms black-to-white
Cool display, but I agree some games might not support the native res. on it. But from what I have read the screen with scale 1600x1200 down to it's native res.
I know a lot of games support custom resoutions though.

I probably won't do it... but this is great for anyone that has been waiting to get an LCD....

One of the advantages of an LCD is that is can display ANY resolution, higher or lower than it's native. So really you can run whatever the heck resolution you want. The quality of the LCD and it's processing determins whether this looks good or not. My sisters laptop looks like poo if you stray too far from it's native, but my 19" hardly changes at all. With an A or B screen and a good Genisis chip, you shouldn't have any problems.

Also I don't think you can display "any resolution" you want on an LCD... I have a Radeon 9800 that will do up to 2048x1536 - but only goes as high as 1600x1200 (native on the LCD) in display properties...
and oh yeah run DVI and ClearType on that LCD whenever possible.

The LCD panel itself has a set resolution, but you should be able to feed the processing part of the screen anything you want. Whether or not it looks good depends on the quality of the chip. This is done all the time with projectors, as it only deals with the max resolution of the signal. We use $$$ scalers to bump all the images to the same resolution so they can be switched, but the built in processing in most of the projectors is just as good. The processing in the Samsung LCD TVs we've been playing with is also quite good. Computer monitor manufacturers simply want to reduce costs on the units and it's cheaper to have the customer use the native resolution and cheap out on the processing.
CRTs don't "scale" as they don't have any set resolution, only a max capable size based on the dot pitch. The resolution can be anything as it's simply made up by the dots of the scanning beam.
EDIT: My LCD's native resolution is 1280x1024, and it looks like shit. 1152x864 just happens to be the magic number the screen likes.

LCDs are much better on the eyes! CRTs dry them and so you'll have to hydrate yourself.
The cost alone of seeing an optometrist just after two visits could motivate you to get an LCD!
Especially those with hard contact lenses.
And better yet, very maintenance free. No more dust attracting static from CRTs!!
