(Old games = games that run only in 640x480 or 800x600)
I want to buy a second LCD monitor just for my retro pc (i don't want a CRT) and i need it to be in 4:3 or 5:4 format only (i don't like black bars or stretched image), so my only options are: 15" (1024x768), 17" (1280x1024), 19" (1280x1024) and 20" (1600x1200). The dot pitch is bigger on the 15" and smaller on the 20" (15">19">17">20" -dot pitch).
In any case, if i run an old game that supports only 640x480 or 800x600, it will have to be interpolated on either of those screens.
So, my question is:
Which LCD from the four above is better when upscaling a lower resolution like 640x480? For this purpose, is it better to have more pixels per inch (in a native resolution)? Or less?
