For some reason in Windows 7 and with the ATI driver you get this crappy image scaling even at native res on the LCD. It makes things look a little off and not as crisp. I found the fix.

What that pompous prick meant to say was.
1. Open ATI CCC (catalyst Control Center).
2. Go to Desktops and Displays and on the bottom click on the triangle in the LCD then click on configure. You’ll notice image scaling is greyed out.
3. Leave the window open and right click on your desktop then click on screen resolution. Change the resolution to one below your LCD native (my native is 1680×1050 so I chose 1440×900) click on apply after choosing. Click on keep changes prompt, then click on the ATI CCC window.
4. At this point you should be able to adjust the scaling. Click the check box to enable image scaling and then click the bubble for Use Centered Timings. Click apply, go back to resolution and set back to native.
Voila, crispiness.
