I see your point, I think you and I are coming from different angles at this. Pop a list of possible resolutions and let the user choose then.
There are a lot of things to consider here, there isn't just one topic in this thread.
One problem I see is that a game should not offer more game real estate at different resolutions. Unless it is a single player game and there is no competition with other humans involved (like high score tables).
If you allow one person to see more game world on their screen than another person, you are giving them an unfair advantage over a player who has less.
