Beg to differ: unless you taking photographs of the screen, the monitor
has nothing to do with the quality of the captures.  The video card
itself shouldn't either.  Unless you're in XWindows or something, a
400x300 pixel window is going to be 400x300 pixels whether it's taking
up most of a 640x480 screen, or merely a small corner of a 1280x1024
screen.  Monitor, video card and display resolution will certainly
affect how the capture *looks* on your system, but they should not have
any effect on the quality of the capture itself.
