[9fans] Widescreen?

[9fans] Widescreen?

[Jack Johnson]

Anyone running their box with a widescreen CRT or LCD?  If so, how do
you like it?

I know page seems to like as many pixels as it can get, but it seems
like acme might breathe a little easier widescreen.

i used an SGI 1600x1000 monitor for a few months, i was really happy
with it.  now i'm on a 1600x1200 samsung and i'm even happier :) there
was a big bertha monitor kicking around at the time (3840x2400, 22.2")
but they were afraid it'll explode when displaying glenda so i never
got around to using it.

here's how the widescreen sgi looked like:

but 1600x1200 widescreen lcd is only as good as 21" CRT with same
resolution, right? i guess he was talking about widescreen with more
pixels! like the 1920x1200 ones. i am looking at dell 2405fpw:

this one is a well-priced and good display. has anyone tried this on
plan9? can this be supported?

thanks

i find that most things get confused with my 1680x1050 laptop.
even the luggage.  but life goes on.  the dvds and my d-7 video
look shit-hot tho.
