So my old monitor has a resolutions of 1440x900 and in the view all list for resolutions it says that i can hava a res of 1280x1024 so now im wondering how is it possible to have a higher y axis res.I tried it thinking its gonna be messed up but no it fits perfectly on the screen.im using gpu scaling so my monitor doesnt resize the image to fit the screen. Also if i try like 1600x900 the screen is messed up but any res with the y axis of 1024 works normaly. Even custom ones like 1440x1024 and everything below that

Is it maybe a crt?  CRTs have a totally different approach to resolution.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

It’s possible the panel is actually 1024, but it was advertised as 1600 x900 instead of 1600x1024 because it sold better that way.
