In Reply to: 2 Questions for WG U3100 owners - please help... posted by Prophet of Retrogames on September 23, 1999 at 18:58:23:
: I might be getting a WG U3100, but I really could use some experienced people to help answer some technical questions...
: 1) Does it truly support 800x600? I ask this because its top horizontal scan rate is listed as 35.5khz, which seems a bit small for 800x600. My card does around 37khz at 60hz in 800x600/400x300. Without 400x300, I can kiss Pacman bye bye, and I cannot do that!
***Bob*** - I'm not sure about the scanrate, but the one I have *Does* support 800x600 - although I can't get it to go to 1024x768 as the catalog states. - By the way, I have it in an old PacMan cabinet (vertical)and 640x480 fills the screen *perfectly*. Is yours horizontal?
: 2) If you send a signal that is beyond the listed scan rate ranges, will that damage the monitor, or simply not display?
***Bob*** - I believe it will eventually damage the monitor - someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
: Thanks in advance for any replies. :)
