Yeah, I've seen that.  On the G3 B&W I using for awhile though, they
listed things as proper resolutions.  I was disappointed that this big
fancy G3 with 21" couldn't handle a higher res. than my P166 with Matrox
on the cheapest 17" I could find at the time (paid $189 for it).  Which is
to say that both topped out at 1600x1200.
