A CRT can run in lots of modes because it draws the screen with an electron
beam. An LCD on the other hand has a fixed number of pixels, so if you tell it
to draw a 640x480 image and its native resolution is 1280x1024, then you end up
with an image that only fills about 1/4 of the screen. The only way to get that
640x480 to fill the 1280x1024 screen is to have the video card rescale
everything to 1280x1024.
