Hi,
No.
It goes fully up and down.
It does not look cinema style.
It is more up and down.
Infact the buttons in Netscape 6/7 and Mozilla look oval shaped going up and down.

If you have a widescreen (16:9) res on a non-Widescreen (4:3) monitor, you'll see
a cinema style letterbox effect, with a wide picture in between thick black bars.

Do not dispute this, since I know more about aspect ratios than you do.

If you're saying that your 1360x768 resolution fills your standard 4:3 monitor then . . .


:arrow: You do have 16:9 display equipment capable of display 16:9 pictures that fill the screen.

or

:arrow: You're vertically stretching your display to fill the screen, result in a tall squashed picture.

or

:arrow: You're telling lies.

If you're telling lies about this issue, and you try to dispute my reasoning, you will be reprimanded.

Standard?

Well, for 12" PowerBook and 12" iBook, 14" iBook, the standard (native) resolution would be 1024 x 768 pixels.

But please keep in mind that wide screen is getting more popular nowadays, thanks to Apple.
15" PowerBook: 1280 x 854 pixels
17" PowerBook: 1440 x 900 pixels
17" iMac G5: 1440 x 900 pixels
20" iMac G5: 1680 x 1050 pixels
20" Cinema Display: 1680 x 1050 pixels
23" Cinema HD Display: 1920 x 1200 pixels
30" Cinema HD Display: 2560 x 1600 pixels

The popular screen resolution along Mac users are 1440 x 900 pixels and 1680 x 1050 pixels, as the previous 17" PowerBook, 17" iMac G4 and 20" iMac G4, 20" Cinema Display are very popular products.

My laptop monitor (14.1-inch) runs at 1024x768, and my TV (which I use as a second computer monitor, 19-inch) runs at 800x600. That puts my total resolution at 1824x768, if I'm not mistaken.

And my Server 2003 laptop runs 1024x768 (13.3-inch).

The AST laptop runs 800x600 natively (12.1-inch)

I keep my resolution 800 X 600 and most of the hits to my site are 800 X 600 and 1024 X 768. I do like how tiny things look in the higher resolutions.

Not with LCDs running at non-native resolution.

Resouloutions

Postby Purple Lizard » Wed 29 Dec, 2004 10:53 am

Hi

My main PC has a 19" LCD screen running at 1280x1024- I thought that was pretty much standard for that size display

My Thinkpad has a 14" Display at 1152x864

and my windows nt machine runs at 800x600

(I used to have a Windows 3.11 machine at 640x480 but I guess thats almost obsolete nowdays.
