Yes, the resolution is set to 1280x1024 which should be 5:4. It's a TFT-LCD
with 376mm x 301mm active display size.
How do I get the pixels to be square? Changing the resolution to 4:3?

It's an issue because I develop some easy web sites and when I check the
look it should fit also within IE, Mozill, etc.

I would like to use the screen size to its best. High resolution with small
fonts.
