Square images on the monitor...

2003-06-23 by Jack M Kucy

I never found any info about it, nor anybody else complained about that, 
but...
When you make a square test image in the PS, make it "fit on screen" and
measure the dimensions off the screen. Is the image square?

On every CTR monitor any resolution you chose in the driver will fit the 
screen,
no matter if it's in the screen proportions or not. I like the 
resolution of
1280x1024 on my LaCie 19" electron blue IV. To have the square images
appear square on the screen I had to adjust the horizontal dimension of the
display resulting with about half an inch black strips on both sides of 
the display.
I had the same thing (with the same resolution) on the 17" Dell before.
It is annoying at the first moment, but it's great to have the image 
looking the same
if it's horizontal or vertical on the screen.

Flat panels work a bit different since the pixels are imposed by the 
hardware, so
all the screens show the square images square.

Regards,
Jack
