Post by: VooDoo on June 05, 2007, 05:36:05 PM

Today i bought new (old) monitor for my A1200.Monitor is Siemense Nixdorf 21 inch and for now using 1024*768 resolution and is good for my eyes :)

But have question...What is the best resolution for this monitor..in combination whit Bppc 233/040-33 and Bvision (not clocked)..

I find 1280*1024 a comfortable resolution on a 21" CRT. 1600*1200 makes it all too tiny for my liking.

Nice monitor! I still like Cathode Ray Tubes - sounds so Star Trek.

I usually use the resolution you are running at now and my eyes thank me :)

I run 960x600 on my 23 inch widescreen with BPPC, tried 1600x1200 but it was a bit too much.

1280x1024 is probably the most comfortable res with minimum 75hz or higher in refresh is probably the most comfortable setting with that monitor.

Just remember that 1280x1024 is not compatible with your screen's aspect ratio (5:4 vs 4:3), resulting in oval circles.. May not make a difference if you don't do graphics design.

1280x960 is in the right aspect for a 4:3 CRT.

Note: TFT panels with 1280x1024 native resolution will naturally supply you with round circles because the panels are in the correct 5:4 aspect ratio.
