Re: (1991-2001) Oldest 1680x1050, 1600x1200, 1920x1200, 2048x1536, 2560x1600 VA/IPS LCD monitors you can think of ?

Impressive list making a database of every screen that was. Notice however that 99%+ of the screens are the big 4 generic resolutions in non-wide aspects? Notice further several have to be CRT not LCD. There are only a small handful of screens with interesting resolutions in the 90’s one Compaq …

It’s worth noting that widescreen PC LCD Monitors were very rare before 2003 (Apple being the exception) 2560x1600 is well uncommon at best Only one common PC screen (Dell 3011 series) and Apple Cinema 30 (2004) like that along with a bunch of strange off brand dim portable units From what I can …

Re: Which 17\19 inches crt monitor choose

Posted on 2024-05-09, 20:40

17 inches are the sweet spot, because starting from 19 and up, i personally dislike the "blocky" visual on low resolution. I'm using a 19, but aiming to find a 17 on good shape sooner or later. I usually play on 800x600 or 1024x768 You can shrink the image as much as you want on a 19” monitor, just …

Also interesting was that the ppro was not as egregiously expensive in single cpu form as many note (late 95 yes but prices eroded rapidly on pro180’s) , late 1996 the local tech bought around 250x ppro 180’s with Micronics motherboards and they weren’t significantly more expensive than a top of …

Re: Looking for new “portable” 4k LCD

Posted on 2024-05-08, 23:11

I think mickeysoft said it best, 640x480 should be enough for everyone. that aside. i'd be doubtful about those cheap screen being actually '4k'. there might be a total of 4k R, G, B pixels on there, as in 3840x2160, but you'd have to divide it by three to get a real idea. So likely 1280x720 though …

Looking for new “portable” 4k LCD

Posted on 2024-05-08, 21:28

If I’m going to waste actual money on something it may as well work for the things I do and fit the space I have. In any event my work laptop is used in multiple spaces usually where a smallish portable lcd fits best. Sadly theses seem to come in a million random types with very little in way of …

Re: How important is screen resolution to you?

Posted on 2024-05-08, 01:53

It depends on what it is, period correct is best but oddly I use a 27” Trinitron as a secondary screen for my work laptop (and nes) and an old 17” CRT that handles the full 2048x1536 (my 19” screen burned up). I use that 17” screen for modern use at 1680x1050 with the text stretched so everything I …

Re: SVGA Games for 286 ?

Posted on 2024-04-30, 14:57

Monitor was a 20" model with BNC connectors (Matsushita?, Mitsubishi?). It wasn't multi-sync, though. Changing resolutions required manual adjustments. When I played a bit with this monitor years later, I got SkyGlobe running with it in SVGA mode (Skyglobe S). Again, had to adjust the knobs to get …

Re: SVGA Games for 286 ?

I summarize that most games are more moving-picture games :) like windows 3 cars games, text adventures or simple bullet movements. The only exception might indeed be sim city. There is SimCity Enhanced CD-ROM for DOS which supports svga. Interesting. I will try this out :) There were a couple “ …

Re: 16-bit ISA EGA card?

Posted on 2024-04-28, 05:11

When I added analog RGB out mod to my Toshiba T3200 so I can connect it to a TV, I left in a switch that lets all 64 colors pass without the brown fix bit, in case there is any software that lets all colors to be used over the 200 line mode of EGA. It is kind of a waste how things have turned out …

Re: Windows 98SE 486 requirement

Posted on 2024-04-26, 21:15

I had Windows 98se running on 8mb ram with a 386, the mouse cursor would hop around and freeze any time there was some sort of activity 8MB is not enough for Windows 98SE. Even with a faster Pentium CPU. You should have done the test with 32MB RAM for example. EDIT: The video above is like that, …

Re: Pentium PRO?

What mistake? The PPro is older than the MMX instruction set; Intel's engineers were at the top of their game back in 1995, but even they couldn't time-travel and include something developed a year later. Moreover, it was useless and the fact all Intel CPUs introduced from 1996 onward had it …

Re: Pentium PRO?

Right, that figures. I need to get 100 mbps cards to stress the bus. I'm still going to install the EISA card because this is the only machine I have with that bus and I'm curious to learn how it works. 1GBS Ethernet still is within PCI specs Apparently VLB could run as fast as 1.7 Gbps. (200 MiB …
