There is one exception to that general rule. If you divide the X and/or |
| 6 |
Y dimensions by a whole number, the result may be blocky fonts, but at |
| 7 |
least there is no interpolation. For a 1920x1080 screen, dimensions like |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
960x1080 960x540 960x360 |
| 10 |
640x1080 640x540 640x360 |
| 11 |
480x1080 480x540 480x360 |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
would involve no interpolation. Of the possibilities listed, the only |
| 14 |
sane ones are 960x1080, 960x540, 640x540, 640x360, and 480x360. If you |
| 15 |
have a VGA input on the LCD monitor, and if you know the monitor's safe |
| 16 |
horizontal and vertical frequency ranges, you can go to a site like |
| 17 |
http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl or |
| 18 |
http://amlc.berlios.de/ and generate custom modelines for the reduced |
| 19 |
sizes. You may need "doublescan" for some of the smaller screens. |
