Screen Size on 265T: Any suggestions on which way to go?
305533
The wider screen provides a few niceties, such as it's a bit easier to input data because the ABC keyboard isn't as small, plus the wider screen allows for a QWERTY keyboard interface along with the ABC keyboard interface. If one uses it in 2D mode, the wider map screen may be helpful. For those who prefer to use the device in 3D mode (the way it appears in the pictures), a wider screen doesn't help much since the height of the two units are close to the same. Personally, I don't mind the smaller size at all (I owned the 260 as well as the 765), the text is the same size and found it a bit easier to slip the smaller screen model into shirt my pocket.

On a smaller screen, 720 is as good as 1080 -- hard to tell the difference. I think when you go over 40", you would be better served by 1080.

FYI -- estarling makes a much better 8" screen with 800x600 nowadays. The wireless setup is still sub-par, but it seems they all still are. The online service is free, and is pretty decent. I have zero complaints. The new version really does have one of the best screens I've seen, and I saw the old 7" one, which was amazingly horrible.

With the price you can get the 255W (or 255WT) for this weekend, you would be foolish to get a non-widescreen 255. The bigger screen makes it much nicer to use. And you're wrong about the 265 and MSN. It does NOT have MSN. That's the 285WT. The 265WT has lifetime (free) FM traffic, just like the 255WT.

I don't game on my wide monitor, but looking at the manual, I would think the best setting is "high." It does say that the screen might stick at times on high, so if that happens, you could try medium instead.

go to www.displaywars.com and plug in 26 versus 32 display - it will show an overlay in color and dimensions so you can visualize the difference. If budget is a consideration then consider as an alternative the panasonic viera 26x1 being price promoted as an amazon special

I wouldn't count on it. Look for a t17 screen? You could always just but it, try it out, and if it doesn't work go ahead and return or exchange it.

Yea, in the specs it metions that 1366768), 16:9 is compatible, since it's a wide screen display, so you should be good at that resolution. :)

Your computer's resolution is only limited by the video card and the current monitor. 1920 x 1080 is really just a standard HDTV resolution (16:9) but most all widescreen *computer* (monitor) resolutions are 16:10, so 1920 x 1200 is perfectly normal and since you already have a 1920 wide res to start with, the option to expand to 1920 x 1200 *should* show up as soon as the new monitor is connected and detected by the computer. If it does not, then you might indeed have to upgrade your video card IF you really want to use the max res. For example, my original resolution was 1024 x 768 (4:3) on my previous monitor. With the T260HD, I was able to change to 1600 x 1200 (also 4:3) which, on the T260HD, does have "black bars" on the side. I suspect it is simply because my video card is outdated that I cannot get the max res and so I should get one that definitely has widescreen capabilities, but it has not been that important lately so I've just not done it yet. I hope that helps! XD PS. Also, when you have the max res of a 16:10 screen, ie 1920 x 1200, you will always have "black bars" on the top and bottom of proper 1080 (or any 16:9) footage when displayed correctly. That can bother some ppl, so it depends on what you want to use the monitor for mainly, ie if you plan to watch a lot of shows on it or just for computer stuff. Altho of course, depending on your media player (on the comp) or when you are watching tv, you will also have the options to crop or zoom the picture which can fill the screen if you don't mind losing the edges as long as you can escape the "black bars". Just some food for thought ;P

On the one I have....Both. 16:9 is it's native, but the 4:3 is available and looks good. Mine also has a 16:10 option which is what I have mine set on now. Great picture.

I would stick to standard sized head units. If you are trying to install a large on with static screen, not flip out, then you will have to pull the ac cluster out and move it elsewhere. you don't want that headache.

I am sorry to tell you that I made the same mistake. All you can do is mirror the DVI input. One thing I am working on though is creating aa custom driver that will double the virtual width of the monitor resolution while still maintaining the same height. I have gotten close once but the aspect ratio for the width doubled as well. Resulting in watching movies with a bunch of short fat people. My work around for now is to use the vga jack out of my laptop for one 23" monitor and an HDMI to DVI-D adapter and DVI-D cable to my other 23" monitor. This gives me 3 hi-res displays to use. Not the most elegant solution but it works. If you find an answer I would love to here it. If I get my custom double wide driver to work I will be happy to share. Cheers, CJ. Cjchumbley@computer.org

Assuming you have the right connector and you have the USB plugged in to the computer (because the extra power is required), you can try going to Display Preferences and hitting the Option key. A button should pop up to show the available resolutions. I had to do this with my 27" monitor.
