Optimal setup for LCD monitor (v1.2)

10 March 2006, 04:18

Hi, I have LCD monitor with 1280x1024 native resolution and I would like to setup WinUAE in a way to have properly scaled pixels when fullscreen. Since WinUAE 1.2 (20.02.2006) there are Filter panel updates which probably make it possible but still I have some problems. All settings except Direct3D and OpenGL result in blurry display. But Direct3D don't display at all which leaves me only with OpenGL. However there is some small imperfection with OpenGL display, take a look at screenshot below (not all pixels are squares, some are bigger than others). Could you help me with this?
Cheers!

There was already discussion regarding DirectX. Toni is aware of the problem and I'm sure he will fix it in next release.

You can resize screen with OpenGL. It is try-error situation, where each machine might require different settings.

Have you tried disabling the "Correct aspect ratio" option in display settings ? This should help correct scalling issues and it also stopps the the scrolling screen tear effects very noticable in the pinball games.

I've tried both, disabled and enabled (both result the same). But on this screenshot there was disabled "Correct aspect ratio".
BTW I have GeForce2 MX400 32MB, D-Sub

I would like to extend my question since new versions appeared. Unfortunately no filter setup can give me display that I need. At best I can only get the same display like on attached picture from first post. How would you setup for LCD monitor to get those pixels properly scaled?
