CRTs use high voltages internally, and a change in resolution changes how fast the electromagnet steers the beam around; they were sensitive to rapid resolution shifts because (I'm guessing) those changes could strain the power supply mechanism. The danger would be a function of the age and cheapness of the monitor. In an LCD, everything is shown at native resolution, with nonnative inputs scaled to size by a scaling chip. If the input is changing too fast for it to make sense of it, the display will just go blank. |
