   All monitors have what is called a ‘Native Resolution’. Your monitor has millions of pixels that change to a certain color to produce a full picture (similar to how an old dot-matrix printer blotched the paper with dozens of small ink dots to produce a word-document).

   If you have your video drivers installed correctly, then go into your display properties and slide the display resolution bar all the way to the right, that is your native resolution. Your monitor can handle larger resolutions (pushing the bar to the left) but it will sometimes make your monitor blurry due to the fact that your monitor and resolution are not at a 1:1 output (you would be using about 1.5 real pixels for each pixel windows transmits to your monitor, causing a blur)

   Assuming they are not widescreen monitors:

   19″:1280×1024
   17″:1024×768
