Sharp AQUOS people! What resolution are you using for your computer?

673 Views 5 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  rweed
I just got my vga to dvi cables and hooked up my computer and everything looks crisp and clear but Sharp's native resolution makes the picture look unproportional. I stretched the image every which way but I can't get it to display properly. Oh, I have the Sharp-LC26 series tv. When i do use the stretch mode the top and bottom of the screen gets lopped off. What settings do you guys use for your computer and tv when using the tv as a monitor?

The native resolution of my LC32G4U is 1366x768. I set my PC to output 1280x768 and I'm quite happy with the result.


Cheers

same as Dave.
I have the LC-32GA5U and I use 1280x768, but it looks like the right 10 pixels are getting chopped off -- if I maximize something under Windows, part of the vertical scrollbar on the right is cropped. I have an ATI Radeon 9800.


Any clue on how to fix this?
Not to hijack this thread, but there's been a lot of mixed reviews about the syntax Olevia being problematic when trying to scan different resolutions. So I'm wondering if the Aquos line might be a better choice for me.


Does the Aquos auto-scan resolutions well on a PC? I.e. can the Aquos auto-detect resolutions seemlessly in the following scenario:


Boot->BIOS->Windows Desktop-> DOS command shell->MPEG video->PC games-> Windows Desktop


Many Olevia user's are complaining that they need to manually use the remote control when trying to do these kinds of basic tasks in Windows. For instance when exiting a DOS game the screen will go bright blue, and then the user needs to make several adjustments in order to see the windows desktop again. Not acceptable for PC use imo.

With the Sharp, anyway, full screen text mode requires that I switch from an analog to a digital DVI connection...not sure if that's the monitor or the video card causing that.
