How are you delivering / displaying the mocks?

Their argument is that their clients (banks, insurance) are using shit monitors set to 1024x768 so they refuse to change their settings even if it will make their experience proper.
I'm delivering the mocks by email with a writeup outlining the logic and reasoning behind everything I've done. In the email there is a link to a webpage with the write up re-iterated and hyperlink navigation leading to mock 1 mock 2 mock 3 etc. Straightforward but it usually goes over well.

Send them a specific mock example.
1. Size your files to fit there screens perfectly
2. Sharpen up everything in PSThis could be a jpg compression issue. Hopefully text will be sharpened on their anti-aliased pc machines.

Highlight these sentences:
"While CRT monitors can usually display images at various resolutions, an LCD monitor has to rely on interpolation (scaling of the image), which causes a loss of image quality."
"If a user were to map 1024×768 to a 1280×1024 screen there would be distortion as well as some image errors, as there is not a one-to-one mapping with regard to pixels. This results in noticeable quality loss and the image is much less sharp."

Have you been to their office to see for yourself? Issues work themselves out so much quicker face to face.

Ask them if all web sites look like shit on their monitors.
