Jon, you really can't change (i.e. lower from maximum) resolution on an LCD without suffering serious visual flaws. An LCD has a native resolution - - its highest - - and that's where it should always be. Not to mention that valuable XP+ enhancements like ClearType will only work when the LCD is at max res. Get the CT Tuning Tool from the Microsoft Typography website to finetune the way ClearType works on any given LCD.And I'm not giving up screen resolution just yet...
