I worked at a company where all software was designed around a 1024x768 resolution. They decided to upgrade from CRTs to LCDs. I strongly suggested they buy the 17” LCDs of the same native resolution, instead they saved a few hundred dollars per person by choosing the smaller 15” 800x600 LCDs. Users either had to deal with a headache inducing blurriness of non native resolution or spend half their days scrolling their screen up and down and left to right. These people were used to keyboard only interactions and now had to keep one hand on the mouse. It was maddening. Half of their staff ~50 people quit over just that one thing.
