[iBook] LCD screen compatability

[Mike Wallinga]

I think the problem with a screen that's "too big" would be that the 
iBook only allows video mirroring by default (without any hacks 
installed or anything like that), so a bigger LCD screen that has a 
greater resolution than the iBook's default of 1024*768 would have to 
scale itself down to match the iBook's resolution.  That resolution 
would probably look "blocky" and not very pleasant on a screen that's 
"too large." 

If you have a chance to see the screens in person, and could plug your 
iBook into each one to test it out, then you could tell how big is too 
big for you; I'm sure it's probably a personal preference more than 
anything else.

Hope this helps!  Good luck and have fun with your purchase! :-)
