Some card/monitor combinations do a less then ideal job of stretching a screen. They are supposed to interpolate colors between pixels to fill in intermediate data, but I've seen a few which don't. The picture should be slightly blurry when viewed closely in super-hi-res, but not pixilated. That's how it works on all my computers, but I was in a store a few months ago and saw an instance where the background had very noticeable pixels.
By the way, I finally got tired of the arcing and zapping inside my old monitor and yesterday I bought a new Sony SDM-HX93 TFT 19-inch flatscreen monitor. It's currently on sale for a $150 discount at CompUSA, and has a spectacular picture. It also has built-in speakers. My local CompUSA (OK, it's 35 miles away) has been using MA to compare the whole wall of monitors for the past couple of years, and it sure does show the difference between brands and models.
