Impressive that an operating system older than the DVD format can display a picture with more pixels compared to Full HD..

I'd look, but this SkyDrive bullcrap won't let me because *haughty sniff* my browser isn't new enough. In the future, you might want to put this kind of stuff on a less stupid service like ImageShack.

Sorry but I really hate to have to upload things and ImageShack has loads of banners and ****

What system specs is that running on?

I filed it under Emulation, might give you a clue? :-)
 
WinUAE running on a i7 machine. 512M FastRam, 24-bit desktop, a few GB of storage (I copied my original Amiga 4000 HD plugging it in using a USB-IDE adapter/converter)

Tried to look but just got a loading icon for about five minutes. What the he^# is SkyDrive hosted on that it bogs down my entire browser, a Commodore 64? Maybe just upload your image onto Amiga.org.

Did you try the direct url? That worked fine in IBrowse, not sure what crappy browser you'r using.

Some years ago I created a 2000x1500 8bit screenmode with mi PicassoIV just for fun :-)

About 17 years ago i ran 1600x1200 in 16 or 24 bit (cant remember) on Apple 21" fixed monitor http://www.apple-forever.com/detail/148.html that only support a 1152 resolution.

cool, but loses it's appeal when it's not the real hardware.

Might be, but as this is the UAE forum what would one expect ... :quickdraw:

[direktorn]

Not really. It simply depends on the monitor driver you're using.

Not true.

I've been using a 1920x1080 Workbench on my A4000 for ages. It is set at the maximum resolution of my monitor, so I don't see the need to exceed it.

What GFX card do you have? I've have not seen one displaying above 1600x1200 in more than 8-bit :/

I think Linux was limited by what the monitor was telling the Linux driver it could handle. I'm sure I was able able to get 1600x1200 out of my 17" Viewsonic when I plugged that in. The Viewsonic stayed at my parents house where it was used with my A1200 and I eventually got a 19" TFT to use with the A1.
 
I imagine that it's probably possible to manually configure the display driver in Linux but I didn't know much about Linux and didn't care to learn.

All digital and the last analog-only monitors use DDC to tell the graphics card and the driver the resolution the monitor supports.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_Data_Channel

All of the computers I set up at my office have between 2-4 monitors. I wonder if I could use WinUAE on one of these and have a 3840x2400 Workbench, or 3240x1920, or 5760x1080?
 
Personally I always liked that Workbench could scroll out to 16384x16384, but I wonder how much chip ram that would eat up? LOL.

I'm more a one-screen-fits-all guy - My neck hurts if I'd have to move all the time to different screens

[direktorn]

For a two color screen that would amount to 32 megabytes

Luckely GFX screens don't consume Chipmen..
