Will take a while to get used to it, but I have a question:

The system doesn't want me to go below 1400x1050 otherwise it gets fuzzy, but internet explorer stretches the images and everything looks awful. Help.

With an LCD display, it only looks sharp if you are at integer divisors (e.g. 700x525 would be one). You shouldn't be using IE, though, but if you go to Tools->Internet Options->Advanced->Multimedia, you can tell IE not to auto-resize images.

EDIT: Gaming at lower resolutions usually looks decent, though.

You do know that IE lets the spyware manufacturers ass-rape you don't you? Look at my sig for (imho) the best alternative.
