Why is it that 1280x960 is proportionate to 1024x768, but 1280x960 looks terrible on my moniter. i use 1280x1024 and it looks fine. whenever i shrink large wallpapers to fit my screen in photoshop i half to cut off the sides because i cant shrink the height as much.

try 1280 x 1024

even though 1280 x 960 seems the same, i'm pretty sure it's meant for widescreen monitors.

i used 1280x1024 on my old 4:3 CRT, and it worked fine.
