I can't help you with the HP support, but I do have a comment on using LCD
displays in general. Unlike a CRT, the LCD panel has a specific number of
light generating "dots" on the screen. In your case, there are 1024 rows
consisting of 1280 dots per row. If you were to change the display
resolution to something other than this, the electronics would need to
interpolate (approximate) what needs to be displayed and the results may be
less than satisfactory. Banding and other artifacts can show up. I would not
recommend changing the resolution to anything different for the native
resolution that the LCD monitor is built for.
Also important to note. LCD monitors do not require the refresh that CRTs
do. Thus, you do not set the refresh rate to anything higher than 60Hz for
an LCD display. A side note - is anyone else old enough to remember that
60Hz was once a high refresh rate?

I've bought a number of these LCD monitors for customers, and they all seem
to be reasonably pleased with them. But one thing's always puzzled me - the
resolution that's described in the setup guide as 'recommended' is
1280x1024. But having tried to change one recently to 1024x768 or 800x600,
it seems that no other setting is possible.
