What resolution to use?
Lilwolf:
Something that can help...
Try and find the true resolution of your TV. Then set windows to that.
Then use HW stretching.
On some devices (specifically LCD's.. but I like it for arcade monitors also) you get better results in that all stretching is done in software instead of the monitor or video card..
But for windows / frontend... Raising the font is a must for most people.

NTSC - 646x486 60Hz or just 640x480
PAL - 768x576 50Hz
Sylentwulf:
It's a LOT easier to change those layouts than I thought :) Guess I'll stick with 640*480.
Suppose I should upload some of the re-sized layouts to screenshotarchive too huh?
GGKoul:
I have 640x480 from MAME games with LARGE font on so I can read my desktop. But when I play Tiger Woods, the screen resizes to 800x600 and all the small print is tougher to read.

this explains why when i select 800x600 there "missing desktop" at the bottom of the screen and cant see the Start bar.
i am using PAL video monitor.
