Nop. Modern drivers seem to emulate lower resolutions when a LCD monitor is attached, so the only genuine resolution is the LCD's native one. If a "emulated" resolution is enabled, PowerStrip won't be able to use the new settings.
The other reason is that if a non-native resolution is used, the LCD screen will need to perform scaling. It's better to perform scaling on the software side so we have full control on the results and feed the screen with a already scaled picture. Then use MAME HLSL options to achieve the arcade look, which achieve better results the higher the resolution is. The problem is that if the resolution is too high, the video card won't be powerful enough to work fluently with HLSL enabled.
Another reason is that the higher the native resolution of our LCD, more chances are that we'll achieve a clean integer scaling of most original resolutions.

EDIT: Tried MK 1,2, and 3 all work fine, but mk 4 give me the mode not supportted bu my LCD. What Hz's does MK4 run at?

Games with refresh lower than 48 Hz are very rare, anyway they're refresh will be raised to 48.
In mk, go to the character selection screen and observe the scroll, let me know if it is smooth. Press F11 to check if the games runs 100%
lettuce:
Do you mean the scrolling on the title screen where the characters faces are scolling up and down on the sides, or on the tower where it says who you'll be fighting?? In both instances the scrolling is smooth, but it says that its running at 110%!!

Both are relevant, but they should run at 100% (54 Hz). Are you launching mk from command line or from the internal MAME's UI? I'd need to see the logs to know what's not working.
lettuce:
From the command line....i have noticed a few games not running at 100% speed, some slower 98% and some a bit fast 105% etc. What command line did i need to input to get you the logs...same as before??
Calamity:
Yes, same command line, -v -md 4 >romname.txt is what's needed for the logs.
It sounds like powerstrip option is not working otherwise you'd have more or less constant 100%.
