[dba-Tech] Wide Screen

Bryan:

I would think it would be just the opposite - the close to 1:1 the less
distortion you'd get.  On all my other monitors the 1.3 ratio - 1024x768,
600x800 - displays OK.

Hey!  I just tried the highest res - 1280x800 which is 1.6 and it's okay.
Everything's square.  Just need to get out my cheaters. :)

Best,


Rocky
