Or the lower-resolution image simply takes up only a portion of the
display (usually centered).

I don't own a flat-panel desktop display, but I've used laptops with
color LCD displays. The IBM Thinkpad 600E that my I used at a previous
job allowed for either stretching or centering of sub-1024x768 modes.
The stretching looked vile, so I preferred centering.
