Talk:QXGA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bit about some 21" CRT's can be used at QXGA, by running them outside their specifications is misleading:

I have two IBM P275 21" FD Trinitron monitors which list 2048x1536@75Hz (VESA GTF) as their maximum rated resolution.

Clearly this is inside the manufacturers ratings, Although my particular monitors (which are second hand and a couple of years old) are a little bit blurry, but this may well be my Video Cards DAC.

Note the recommended resolution is 1600x1200@85Hz (VESA 106.3kHz), does anyone know if this means it is the best for reducing eye strain, or if the screen is not guaranteed to have good clarity beyond this?

A link to the monitor is provided below:

Manufacturers generally dont recommend to use a higher resolution than the maximum that can be defined with the number of dots on the screen. Even if a monitor accepts a signal with 2048 vertical pixel, the user will not see such high a resolution if the screen size is too small relative to the dot size. This is further complicated by the fact that in many CRT monitors the pixels are not arranged in a rectangular fashion, giving distortions to the fine details of the image when a high-resolution (rectangularly arranged) raster image is fed to a device using triangular arrangement of the subpixels.
