<html> <head> <style></style> </head> <body class='hmmessage'> Hi<br><br>I run a Compaq desktop which dual boots Xubuntu 9.10 and XP. For both operating systems the maximum available monitor resolution is 1024 x 768. I would like to replace the current monitor with something more up to date, using a 16:9 format. Is the current resolution likely to represent the best my hardware can support, or will the resolution of a new monitor be detected automatically, so I don't get any "stretching" or "squashing" of the image.<br><br>Grateful for any advice before I go and spend any money.<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Nige<br> </body> </html>
