Foolproof fix for screen resolution?

Hmmm, no luck with this, but thank you anyway.

It's easy enough to boost the size of text in most places where I really 
need it, so it is not so important now to get a specific screen 
resolution for the sake of text size.  More important is to retain a 
screen proportion that does not distort photo images on web pages.

You are correct that my desired screen resolution of 1280x768 actually 
has proportions of 1 to 1.67, and not 1 to 1.6 as with my current 
1680x1050.  But the two resolutions are close enough that I can't see 
much difference in the way images look.  Especially there is no gross 
stretching.  Another screen resolution that I tried has a ratio of 1 to 
1.8, and that also looks good enough to me.
