As far as I've been able to tell, all the commonly available
LCD desktop monitors are quite insistent on scaling (with
well known suboptimal results) when presented with a pixel
format other than native. Does anyone offer the option of
cropping the displayed image to whatever (lower than native)
format is input? For example, I'd like to find a 1680x1050
monitor that would display 1280x1024 with 200 black pixels on
each side and 13 at top and bottom.

I don't think any LCD will do that by itself, but the graphics driver
can.

My Dell 2001FP has a scaling setting with three options - 1:1, Fill
and Scaling - of which the first one does exactly what you're looking
for. I *think* all of the Dell Ultrasharp LCDs have this option, not
sure about their other models though, or about any models from any
other manufacturer.
