    I have NP8660 which its LCD has a native resolution of 1680x1050
    When I configure my desktop to resolution less that 1680x1050 it will become so blurred.


    If I play game using NP8660 with a resolution of 1280x768
    And another notebook's LCD has native resolution of 1280x768 and play game at that resolution.
    Will I see the same thing?

    1280x768 is a 16:9 res, 1680x1050 is 16:10. so you won't see the same thing.

    Not talking about ratio.
    I mean the picture i see from two screens at 1280x768.

    One screen has native resolution of 1680x1050
    the other one has native resolution of 1280x something.

    Because when I configure my NP8660 desktop at resolution of 1280, it was so blurred

    Well, then, you're likely to see a more blurry image than the person with the system that has a native res of 1280x768 - that other person's image won't be blurred on account of the screen setting because it's operating at its native resolution.
