BTW 16:9 aspect is not 1920X1200 but 1920X1080

This is what is puzzling to me.

If the monitor's aspect ratio is 16:9, why does Rene's list of
optional
screen resolutions have 3 resolutions that are 16:10 aspect ratios?

I have 2 monitors with 16:10 aspect ratios.Â* One attached to W10
(1903)
system, the other Mac Mojave.

Neither system offers me a 1440X900 option, even though that is a
16:10
aspect ratio.

It's quite the conundrum.

Maybe, with the native resolution of the monitors in question, that one
gives a blurring result that is _particularly_ obnoxious (maybe even to
VH folk) - _very_ visible blobs, or something?

The native resolution of my monitors are not in question.Â* The are
16:10.

It's Rene's that puzzles me.Â* It's listed on Asus's site at 16:9, yet 3
of the resolutions in his list are 16:10 resolutions.Â* At the same time,
he did not list 1600:900, which Mark Lloyd suggested he try, which I
*think* he is now using.

So now I'm, in parallel, digging into my Mac options, and the options
there for resolutions are so much smaller.Â* I think, to some extent, the
options offered may depend on the video inputs the monitor has.Â* The
monitor on the Mac has HDMI, but on the Windows computers, no HDMI.



Yes Ken, I am using the 1600x900 and it really is great with this 27
inch monitor.


So, we made things better for you, even with all our fumbling around???
Â*LOLÂ* But, you've confirmed what I thought would happen when you
correctly play with the settings available to the user.Â* I think this is
one area where I'll have to say that W10 is now superior to everything
else I've checked.

Would you double check your available resolutions list for me?Â* For me,
this is one of those things that I just have to find the answer for...
Why your system offers resolutions that the monitor should not have.



Yep, here is the list again, this time with my eyes open.

1920x1080
1680x1050
1600x1200
1600x900
1440x900
1280x1024
1280x960
1280x720
1152x872
1152x864
1024x768
800x600
Fresh off the monitor. :-)
