Phoenix 26" Monitor

Bummer... That's a pretty low res for such a large "modern" screen. If they were making a custom panel anyway - they might have ramped up the resolution a bit! 1920x1440 would have been awesome...

960x768 (5:4)? I have a project that would be perfect for this if it is 5:4.

It was just weird enough to try, but, no, still has x axis distortion. Worth noting, the physical size of the screen is definitely 4:3 in aspect... but there's no telling what the control board thinks is correct right now. It's still in the right ballpark though... like 1024, it only shows some very modest stretching on the x axis in just the center 25-33% of the screen.

Honestly cannot believe they won't just tell you the res of the physical panel... Really pathetic form - ultimately, the panel will be manufactured by one of only a handful of companies, it will have a part number so the mob selling the complete unit with the driver MUST know immediately all the specs for it (and even have a datasheet handy!)...

So in breaking news, they have now confirmed that the physical resolution is only 1024x768... after someone else did a teardown and found that the one part that had an identifiable part number was the T-Con, and it was from a 32" 720p TV.
No word yet on what, if anything, they intend to do about everyone who paid $300 believing it to be a 1600x1200 as-stated...
I suppose it boils down to what one believes a 1024x768 4:3 LCD at 26" is worth... It's still a bit of a unicorn size, so there's still value in that. More than adequate for real hardware, but definitely a whole different animal for those of us thinking it was going to be The Perfect CRT Shader Monitor.
