The key word is "native". LCDs, being digital, have a native
resolution, where each pixel to be displayed maps directly to a pixel
on the screen. Most monitors will find a way to display some
resolutions lower than their native one, but it may not look pretty
(either "blurry", or maybe not filling the entire screen).
