I guess I was luck; But i got a 19" HP LCD and using it with an external scandoubler (eyetech thingy). It works great!

Great screen to bring to demoparties etc :)=

@kidkoala,

PAL SuperHiRes 1280 x 256. Laced 1280 x 512.
Overscanned to the max, 1448 x 566. :lol:

NTSC SuperHiRes 1280 x 200. Laced 1280 x 400.
Overscanned gives 240 or 480 lines (at least).

Wide enough?

Certainly, the image might get scaled vertically, but I can't see that the output isn't at least capable of wideness.  :-)
:)

@meega

haha, you're sure right:) ..but that's the deal, i don't want wide resolutions on a wide screen that f~ck up the original image aspect;)

@krize

in my experience you must've been lucky, yes, cause the screens i've tried have 60hz as lowest capable sync., and when trying to find screens on the internet that supports 50hz, there aren't many..

what brand and model?

All ViewSonic (http://www.viewsonic.com/) monitors sync down to 50Hz; I have a 15" one running off my CV64 and internal SD/FF and it works fine.

The picture is no where near the quality of a portable TV mind, so I'd say they're not the ideal solution.

cheese's..why didn't anyone tell me before! now i can just surf the norwegian auctionsites for viewsonics, thanks a lot slash..:)

i'm getting a tiny portable tv from a friend so i'll try and fix that one as well, then i get a direct comparison between tft and catode tubes which can be pretty interesting.
