Default 800x600 VGA output

I took a look at the 7300 and noted that the VGA support listed is 800x600. I doubt if there are many modern, off the shelf monitors with a native resolution that small. An 800x600 output will appear in one of two ways on a modern display: scaled up (looks lousy except if on a 1600x1200 monitor), or centered with a dual letterbox border.

Also, most off the shelf monitors are now wide screen with either 8:5 or 16:9 aspect ratios. I think the 4:3 VGA aspect has come and gone.
