How do we use a lower resolution like 320x240 without the screen being blury, is it possible or not?

It's not possible on LCD monitors. They have a fixed number of pixels across / down. When you use any other screen resolution than the monitors physical resolution, it'll stretch the image to fit. That's where the blur comes from.

[EDIT]

OOOppps! I was typing at the same time as Kevin! Here's what I wrote anyway:

In windowed mode.

I think it mostly has to do with the monitor. If you have a large screen, then you basically make big blocks of pixels so 320x240 can fit in the whole screen. If you make a small window, then 320x240 fits into your current Window's resolution so the pixels aren't swollen to 3 times their size.



Enjoy your day.

hmm It's maybe impossible to have a fullscreen 320x240 or anything lower than 600x480 to be not blury LCD or not, but I found a solution to it.

Instead of lowering the resolution to make the pixels bigger I just blew up all my images times 2. It gives the same effect and it's not blury.
