Problem
I have a 17 inch LCD, with a maximum resolution of 1280x720. It works fine, but there are some apps that require 1024x768. I know that the maximum resolution is called like that for a reason, but is there no way of increasing the resolution, other than getting a bigger monitor?

Low Risk
You could use a virtual desktop; this would allow you to scroll around to support more virtual resolution. But apart from that, no. Your LCD has a maximum resolution. By definition, that means it cannot support a higher resolution.
