I have a crt monitor that I use for my retro pc: Sony Trinitron model "CPD-E100E", also has "Multiscan E100" written in front. I made a research about the model and the technology in general. It turns out that trinitron monitors use vertical grills, so their maximum horizontal resolution is fixed. If I understood correctly? On internet I found my model has 1280x1024 resolution. How is it possible that I can move and shrink(both vertically and horizontally) the image box on my screen, I mean how can grills, physical things, move and shrink? Also how can this monitor support horizontal resolution other than 1280, does it process and scale incoming picture? Also I noticed that the picture quality is good and sharp at resolutions 800x600 720x400 640x480 640x350 320x200, and "not so good" at other resolutions, why is this so? I mean the horizontal part of some of these resolutions (800 and 720) are not even integer divisibles of 1280.
1280/320= 4
1280/640= 2
1280/720= 1.7778
1280/800= 1.6
