And yet a US$150 LCD panel presumably contains a scan converter, and one that does higher than NTSC/PAL resolution. Something doesn't add up.
There are different levels of quality of scanconverters, but probably it's an issue of integration. The monitor takes DVI, while the glass often takes LVDS. There may already be a need for an intermediate framebuffer. Building a simple scaler into the existing hardware may not really be all that difficult or expensive. A standalone scaler would incur all sorts of additional costs.
If the display supports the telling-the-graphics-chip-what-resolution-it-is feature, but does not support 640x480, would that work? Does pee-sea firmware insist on 640x480 regardless? Would the graphics chip convert?
PC's usually do, but we don't have to. We're faking out the host in all sorts of ways. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
