Is 1024x768 the "native" resolution of your flat panel? My 
experience with LCDs is that any deviation from the OEM's 
recommended resolution is likely to result in an ugly display.

The more expensive the panel is, the better it is likely to look at 
alternate resolutions, but generally "there can be only one" with 
regard to best image quality.
