Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

For me, I notice the pixel shift effect more often in the native resolution than say, a wierd custom resolution like 1178x663. This is also the case in other standard resolutions like 1080p and 720p.

They shouldn't, but that would depend on what the monitor's firmware does.

It's just rounding because the pixel clock can only have 2 decimal places. It can be exact if they made it that way, like with CRU's "Exact" timing.

No, it's just the way certain standards say to round.

That seems like a monitor-specific limitation. The timing parameters don't inherently cause that sort of thing.
