No, that means that it will only do up to that. Anything smaller looks funny, and it won't display anything bigger.

To get 1600x, you are looking at spending over $2000 on around a 22". The good part is on units that expensive, they also have a pretty good refresh rate. The bad part is that those types are prone to burn in images, so if you use IE (for example) a lot, eventually you'll have a ghost image of the IE toolbars BURNT into your monitor PERMANENTLY.

There is no good solution with LCDs yet, unless there is no other way to make a monitor fit on your desk. A CRT is better almost every time.

Look at it this way: of the dozens of computers I've built for people, I've only recommended ONE LCD monitor, and that was because the computer required a laptop sized footprint on the desk (LCD, keyboard, mouse).
