Is there any way to detect/default to the native resolution for an LCD monitor (on Windows XP)?
(this is an older monitor and I haven't found the documentation on it)

As long as you have the correct drivers installed....
Otherwise, just keep unlikely to damage an LCD simply by briefly switching to an out-of-bounds res.
A resolution higher than the maximum for the monitor, assuming that it can detect it.

A friend has a Power Macintosh 8500/180 (yes a bit of a classic from the mid-90s!) and wishes to upgrade the monitor from the huge CRT it is now using to LCD.
Looking at the specs of this machine it has a DB15 display port, which it seems can output via...

Let me multisync monitor from an auction site with a native resolution that matched the output.
It worked well.

I still use a 19" CRT monitor for my development (both at home and work), but now I'm looking for a wide-screen LCD monitor as my next purchase.
As much as I look into it, I can't really find one that pleases me. The problem is that the LCD grid (the ...

We all use two monitors....
With one large monitor you spend it still holds true; that 2 monitors is far better than 1 large monitor.
In this monitor, and use a standard 19" LCD monitor to run the site / app in.

It's a known issue that ClearType doesn't render text well when lcd monitors are rotated to portrait orientation. ClearType is primarily tuned for a vertically oriented RGB stripes (your average everyday lcd monitor in horizontal mode).

So as I see it you have two options:
Buy an IPS LCD....
Also the monitor was not designed to be viewed in portrait mode.
You might want to look into naturally pivot-able LCD's or screens that utilize IPS LCD technology right there.

I've got an old 17" LCD that I've had for nearly 9 years now but still works pretty well. It's been my secondary monitor for a few years, but I just got a new 24" monitor, so my current main LCD (19") will become the new secondary screen.
Any good suggestions...

The modes that it cycles through (one for each Fn+...
