640 X 480 max resolution? is that right?

even the cheapo 299 syntax 20" LCD TV i bought at fry's last year has 800 x 600

I saw this when I was at Staples yesterday getting the Acer LCD, and I could have sworn it said 800 x 600 resolution. That being said, the picture looked pretty decent on it.

I didn't even think of this, but if it's in-store, can't you tack on the customer appreciation 12% off???

damn 640x480. 300 bones for what, a dedicated webcam monitor?

 

[Fraggable]

640 X 480 is horrible for anything other than OTA TV. Then again, that price for a 20" standard TV LCD is not bad.

I googled for it and found about 10 different sites that all said it was 640 X 480. I'd have it by now if it was 800 X 600.

well, if you dont' care about brand, fry's periodically sells their 20" syntax olevia LCD TV 800x600 for 299. i got it for 300 bones back in june 2005...it comes with VGA analog too!

 

[slashbinslashbash]

I would buy it if it had VGA input

EDIT: I am finding some sites are listing at as 800 X 600 and others at 640 X 480. This is very frustrating.

Can anybody clarify once and for all?

LOL, worst of both worlds.

Keep in mind that NTSC is defined as having 525 lines of resolution. 40 lines are used for closed captioning and other metadata, as well as vertical blanking interval. 485 lines are visible. So, a 640x480 panel should resolve the visible image detail quite nicely.

We aren't talking about using the thing as a PC monitor, or reading 10 point text. It's a TV, and it has adequate specs for a TV. I doubt it's 600x480 (I've never seen an LCD panel with non-square pixels) - but, either way, 800x600 is pointless for TV unless you're watching scaled 16x9 (in which case you'd be using the 421 lines in the center)

I've got a 640x480 20" LCD. TV picture is fair at best, but it works well for a bedroom TV. DVD's look decent on it.

For a 640x480 display? Why?

 

[dhkkim]

so whats the resolution?

It doesn't really matter - the inherent fuzziness of NTSC TV, plus the large size of any picture element that's large enough to see across the room (remember, you aren't reading 10-point text off a TV, ever) will mask any scaling artifacts.

That said, a cheapie 800x600 TV that can do 800x600 as a monitor is useful for A LOT of people. Most older people I've dealt with with LCD's find 1280x1024 to be too small on a 19" screen. 20" with native 800x600 resolution will give nice big text without having to resort to DPI hacking, which doesn't work in a lot of programs (especially the programs that people who can't read 19" 1280x1024 screens use, such as AOL)

Really really hot deal.
