Hey guys,
since most 17-inch TFT models have a 5:4 resolution of 1280x1024 (at least all that I have seen) I wouldn't consider them for DOS gaming personally. However recently I came to the conslusion that they at least should be able to display 640x480 games like Diablo or Baldur's Gate in a pretty decent way IF they have an internal scaler that supports aspect-ratio-correct scaling.
That would optimally result in a (letterboxed) image with black bars at the bottom and top. Also 1280 is an integer multiple of 640, so pixels should appear super sharp without scaling artifacts.
Can anybody recommend a 17" inch TFT monitor with VGA/DVI inputs and preferably TN-type panel?
Thanks!
