Problem changing the desktop resolution

Dear all,

I am having problems changing the desktop resolution on
my laptop Toshiba P10. The link below will provide you
with the full spec of the laptop:

http://www.toshiba.ca/web/specifications.grp?
lg=en&section=1&group=1&product=2391&part=1991

I am currently using the resolution 1900 x 1200 and I
have to admit that it is very nice but it is also really
small and after a while it can be a problem. If I change
the resolution to 1440 x 900 it is supposed to be a clean
stretch. Well, it is bigger, it is actually the size i
would like to use but the quality is not really good
compared with 1900 x 1200. The letters look blurry and
artificial, it is like having a really cheap screen!!!
I called Toshiba but they were not really helpful. I have
my computer up-to-date with everything (Nvidia drivers,
WinXP Media center etc....). It is difficult to explain
what I see but maybe some of you have experienced the
same pb before. Maybe it is just an option to activate or
I don't know but there must be a way. I could stay on
1900 x 1200 and increase the size of the font but maybe
there is a more proper way of dealing with this pb.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Seb

As the website says, 1900*1200 is the "native" resolution for that screen.
Any other (smaller) means that the display subsystem has to "spread" the
pixels over more "real" pixels, thus resulting in a blurrier screen.... This
applies to LCDs only, CRTs are not affected so.
