[quote=johnblommers]Hey Wombat, what resolution do you have your HDTV set to when you display the MA screen saver on it?

480p

720p

1080p

I would expect serious pixelation because the coral and stuff is relatively low res. As we speak I am using a Dell 2405FPW 24-inch LCD panel set to millions of colors and 1920x1200 resolution. The coral and stuff is rather blocky and pixelated.

Take a look at the attached screenshot.

C'mon back ....

Hi John,
My LCD TV is capable of 720p/1080i but I'm not using HDTV resolution as I'm only using a standard resolution Digital set-top box for TV. For Serenescreen, I plug the S-Video TV-out connector on my laptop to the S-Video input on the TV. The normal resolution on my laptop is 1440x900 but if I set Serenescreen to that, the display on the TV is badly clipped. The TV display is 1386x768 (WXGA). So I set Serenescreen to the nearest available resolution (1024x768) and that looks OK, although not as good as it does on the computer at 1440x900. I get no blocky or pixillated pictures that you see, but perhaps that is because my S-Video cable is 20metres long, and I must suffer some high frequency attenuation.
Regards,
Wombat (That's rednosed, not hairynosed)
