What does the cpc display look like on a widescreen television?
is it stretched to fit and so the aspect changes, or does it show it as 4:3 with black borders on the left/right?
Are the borders the same relative thickness compared to a cpc monitor?
Just wondering. Anyone got any pics.. I am sure there are some around.
Wouldn't that just depend on how the TV is set up? Most widescreen TVs have various different settings for dealing with a 4:3 signal, from centering it with a black border to varying different types of stretching algorithms.
Here's some old ones I took last year with the Symbiface and Megaflash attached. May give you some idea?
I've found it's quite good in 640x200 sometimes, because it counteracts the strange pixel size!
Yeah, my TV can do either. I actually plan to add a mode to my FPGA emulator that compresses the display by 4:3 horizontally (which when multiplied by the normal 4:3 gives 16:9) too, but mostly because it annoys me to change the setting on the TV!
For information the 4:3 cpc screen size on a TV is 384x288 to 768x576
yes my television has the same algorithms. I wanted to see some nice pictures and beaker provided them, but also because I have an idea about 3d using passive glasses. I wanted to know how it could work.
