Ok, so im in the market for a nice widescreen monitor, I have one question though, I currently have a 17" LCD, its native res is 1280x1024, if I dont play games in that resolution it looks like crap (blurry etc), so I was wondering, if I get say a 22" LCD widescreen monitor, is it going to be the same way if I dont play in 1680x1050? The reason im asking is currently I dont have a card that is capable of playing most newer games in such high res, running it at 1280x720 would be great, I just dont want the blurryness/fuzzyness I get with my current LCD when not running in its native res.

Yes it'll be that way regardless of what LCD you have,just use the money you would spend on a 22" and get a video card that can play games well @ 1280x1024.
Well I have a 7800GTX, it does 1280x1024 with med-high settings in everything cept Crysis, im just looking to upgrade my monitor, looks like ill have to upgrade my vid card with it.

Medium-High? What games do you play? Have you tried updating drivers?
If you don't have the card for it, you shouldn't buy a big monitor mate. Even if the native resolution thing weren't present, you'd still be looking at a much larger monitor displaying the same resolution as your current one, which just looks bad unless you stand far back.
