Panasonic 42phd8uk and IBM t42 image display

What is the best way to display computer images via a VGA connection, i.e. what resolution do I set the computer at? When set at 1024 x 768 the image aspect ratio is incorrect. The other pre-sets on the computer yield poor quality images, some of which have the appropriate ratio.


thanks

The issue is that the display has rectangular pixels, while the computer assumes square pixels, so I don't think there is a perfect solution to your problem.


A 1024x768 computer signal is a perfect match for the panel on FULL mode and will yield the clearest image, but it will look stretched as you have discovered. You can change the panel to NORMAL mode to view an unstretched image, but then the panel is only displaying 768x768, so some image data must be thrown away, resulting in blurry text. It's a compromise either way.


What you REALLY need for ideal computer display (and I realize this is not helpful in the slightest) is a screen with square pixels, like the 50" Panny.


At least that's how I understand it. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. (Like I even needed to say that.) :D
