Wide Screen Resoultions

Can AMiga support them? Seems there are a lot of Wide Screen LCD monitors around now a days.

There was work being done on some wide screen modes for the Indivision AGA (maybe the ECS) boards but I was never able to get it working correctly on my wide screen monitor. Picasso96 drivers support wide screen under emulation and may with the right video cards on a big box Amiga. With a standard Amiga you are going to be limited to a 4:3 aspect ratio.

What, 1280x256 isn't wide enough? :)

PAL with max overscan is 1448x566 in super-high-res laced, I pulled it down to 1366x566 on a CD32 hooked to a 40" Sony LCD TV using S-video, and it was actually quite good, and amazingly enough, flicker free.

Anyways, 4:3 aspect? Only NTSC has that, PAL is 5:4 (or rather 5:2 for flickerfree non-laced)

Oh god!  Those awful, scrunched-up native Amiga resolutions!  :barf:

Yes I forgot about PAL. Either way, neither are "widescreen" modes.

Widescreen (720p) is 1280x720 on 16:9  TV panels, and 1280x800 on PC monitors which are 16:10 ;)

MAX AGA 576 vertical so no this approx 2.35:1

You can allways use the experimental monitor driver HD720 which enables a 16:9 "wide" screenmode with 1280x720 (47 Hz 17,86 kHz).

Get it from http://aminet.net/driver/moni/HighGFX40_6.lha
