Has anyone tried using a 1920 x 1080 HDTV monitor with OpenSUSE 11.0? I'm looking at the Acer X233H 23" monitor. I have the Nvidia GeForce 7300 GS video card, which supports DVI.
I have 11.0 on a box connected via analog 15 pin VGA to my Vizio 31.5" FHDTV (1920x1080p), but with Intel onboard video. Sax2 configured it during installation to the actual display DPI, which resulted in somewhere around 70 DPI, producing ugly microscopic fonts and UI. Forcing DPI up to a sane number taking into account viewing distance made it work fine for the little I actually use it. 1920x1080 has actually been around longer than 1920x1200, so a lot of older cards will work in native mode on HDTVs but wouldn't support a 1920x1200 computer display except at 1024x768 or worse. FWIW, a 23" 1920x1080 works out to almost exactly the "magic" number 96 DPI, depending on how close to an actual 23" it measures. Its screen height is virtually the same as a 16:10 display of only 21", which is about 108 DPI. -- " A patriot without religion . . . is as great a paradox, as an honest man without the fear of God. . . . 2nd U.S. President, John Adams Team OS/2 ** Reg.
