hsadan - for many games, I’ve never noticed any issues playing in a lower resolution. My laptop’s LCD is optimized for 1600x1200, but I have played 800x600 games without a major problem.

Could it be the ratio between the resolution you are in and the one you are going to that causes the blurs? I know that widescreen monitors don’t scale well when used in a 4:3 ratio resolution such as 800x600.
