Just out of interest, is the picture quality any better if the scaling is a square factor?

Say for example, you have a 1600x1200 LCD, and you display an 800x600 screen on it. Surely the pixels would just be quadrupled and you should have a pixellated (obviously) but crisp display?

I've never really used a LCD properly myself but I have seen the blurring that happens when you use non-native resolutions. While they can be very nice in their native resolutions, I'm very happy with my CRT - it deals with everything I throw at it very well.

I am using a 19 inch Sony Multiscan Trinitron G400 with my Amiga 4000 - while it weighs an absolute ton and is huuuuge, it can display the outputs of my Cybervision PPC and scandoubler very well, from those low-res 320x256 games all the way up to 1600x1200. :-D

You mispelt "Herniatron". :-D I've carted around lots of monitors, and I always cringe when I see a Sony monitor that needs to be moved.


No kidding!! :-o I had to carry the damn thing up two flights of stairs to my attic-bedroom! :cry:
