800x600 or 640x480 for TV
(1/2) > >>
rdowdy95:
I am going to be using component out on my mame cab.  Will my 27inch TV display 800x600 or will it only do 640x480.    Will 800x600 be good looking on a tv ?
unclet:
I would think it depends on the type of TV as well as how nice of a TV card you will be using...
TalkingOctopus:
I prefer 640x480 w/ S-Video on my TV, (component is not an option for me).  I think you're going to have to try both resolutions and decide for yourself here.  It shouldn't be a difficult test.

You will have overscan.  If you keep searching, you'll find ways people have combated that.  I love the component look as compared to s video, so it's well worth the hassle.

I've only had the scrolling desktop with 800x600 with component video and I run 640x432, everything fits perfectly. I use powerstrip's arcade setting and that's about it.
