Hi All,
The old sony crt tv has died gracefully - thankfully I will now be able to
replace it with a LCD one.
I am a bit worried about the LCD TV's resolution of 1366x768 and how it will
be handled by Xorg and thus Mythtv frontend (a laptop with intel 945 graphics
and alternatively a desktop with nvidia 6200 video)
The TV will mostly be used as a monitor, so it is paramount that it be run at
native resolution. I run Debian unstable on both the backend and frontends.
There are a number of 32" TVs available in NZ at a reasonable price;
Acer AT3220B 32" LCD TV $ 909 inc. GST - $129 cashback until 30 Apr
VIEWSONIC 3240WB $ 900 inc. GST
SONY BRAVIA KLV32U300A $ 1089 inc. GST
Does anyone on the list care to comment on the suitability on any of the above
TV's? (all 1366x768) Would I be better to purchase another brand for better
compatibility? Will I have overscan or overscan problems?
Thanks,
Noel Sheridan
