4:3 Monitor Resolution & HD Gaming

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Thanks so much for your ongoing help as I grapple with my first bartop.

I see a lot of people recommend 4:3 monitors, but I also see people talking about emulating with HD graphics.

Are 4:3 monitors compatible with HD graphics? What resolution should I be shooting for with a 4:3 19" monitor?

Thanks!

How about a 26" and a 32"?

16:9, 16:10 or 4:3?

if they are 16:9 / 16:10 depends on the resolution the monitor will handle. a good 26 will handle 1920 x 1080 with no problems 32" PC monitors will easily do 2560 x 1600 (16:10) or 2540 x 1440 (16:9) 32" tvs will be stuck at 1920x1080

larger 4:3 above 20" will be CRT, so you would be lucky to get over 640 x 480 on them.

Checking the math, isn't this 5:4?

yes its 5:4 SXGA but will run on a 4:3 monitor otherwise you can run 1024 x 768 - I force mine to 800 x 600 (using nircmd) before running any emulators

I know I have found some 4:3 monitors below 20" during my search last year. They were generally geared towards Graphics Design or oddly enough, the medical field. The problem with specialized monitors like those is they usually have a pretty high response time on them causing major ghosting.
