Hi all!
Does anybody know whether it is possible to use a WXGA LCD TV (with PC in) as a monitor for Pegasos?
What about resolutions available?

Mario

it should work of course, as long as u set it up correctly in MorphOS.
WXGA : (Short for "Wide XGA,") WXGA is a video resolution that supports a max resolution of 1366 horizontal pixels by 768 vertical pixels) in the cinematic 16:9 wide-screen format

but i heard the usable resolution is 1280x720

Yes, but... what about opening, for example, a 800x600 screen (to run a game, a sdl application, etc...) on a 16:9 tv?
Did anybody try it yet? Does it work?

Quote:

I have no experience from wide screen monitors, so I don't know how well they handle "non-widescreen" resolutions. Perhaps they handle it the same way as wide screen TV's, ie black borders at the sides? But I guess that is a non-MorphOS specific question, and more a question you would like to ask to the sales man or the store that sells that particular monitor.

Hi Mario

It works pefectly well to use the Pegasos with any LCD TV, and with widescreen as well.

However if you start a game in low resolution, the display might not be that perfect, as LCD-TV as TFT-displays as well, usually are little more sensitive when it comes to resolution used then ordinary CRT displays. If you come out of range as to say, it might be no display at all.

The smaller LCD-TV's are starting to come down in price, so even not comparable price wice with an ordinary TV yet, they might soon be, and much better display also, at least in my opinion.
