How does any normal person find an opportunity to see any difference? Most of the internet is extreme lowfi designed for 1024x768 or below. All my systems use 1400x1050 or higher, mostly to minimize text jaggies by having mor available px for any given text size. Other than the anti-jaggie effect, I find it difficult to see the benefit of high resolution, and can hardly imagine being able to identify the benefit of the digital hardware connection. > For, the most important point is that I don't have to press the > "auto-adjust" button of my monitor with DVI nor set-up any > "phase/white/etc" values in the monitor's OSD; DVI always gets it perfectly. If my 1080p HDTV is any indication, "perfect" is entirely subjective. It has 9 preset modes plus custom, all of which are various combinations of backlight, brightness, contrast, "color", tint & sharpness. With my only other LCD, the screen I'm writing this on, the only adjustments I've made are to reduce the brightness & contrast from the stupid 100% defaults. As long as I'm not looking at a color wheel, I find it difficult to see any color "error". OTOH, I've been reading Linux mailing lists for years. I often see workaround for problem = use VGA instead of DVI, and never the other way around. -- "Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain." Psalm 127:1 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
