Title: What should be my resolution for panasonic 27" flat screen?
Post by: Marty on March 29, 2012, 03:50:30 pm

I'm trying to figure out what I should do to get the game list to show better MALA. (Un-readable).


My question is what should a set the resolution to in the my graphics card?  Running MAME and the games look good, just not the font size in MALA.

Thanks,
Marty

Hey Yenome thanks so much for the info and help!!!   I think this panasonic 27" flat is really better than I hoped for.  Nice picture, remembers settings, channel etc when power loss.  I had to weld a custom chassic for it with mounting holes because the tv chassic was to large my my cab.  Glad project looks this good after all the time I have into the thing!  WOOO!! ;D

maybe i should send you my tv so you can do the same for me :P we might have t he same tv what model is yours? did you take some pics of the tv after you made the mounts. i got this one to put in my cab but thinking bout discharging it gives me the heebees jeebees. im using my gaming pc 19lcd atm since it had a vesa mount and was the easiest to put in the cab. i need adjustments done to mine but no remote means no service menu for me :(

I had a CT-27hl14j my cat knocked off one of the back panels and it hit the neck and broke it. first time i just knocked the neck board off. now i have to find a new tv. course i had bought the remote for the tv and found out it didnt work. seems the tv IR sensor was bad.

Maybe you should have someone else do your monitor stuff in total.

bah more fun to do it my self. i actually took a pair of pliers and broke all the shroud for the tv except for the base where the boards was all held on and had it all mounted in the cab. and when i said I knocked the neck board off i should of said it as in the back panel the cat knocked off. tho now im looking to get rid of the empty cab i have and build one. was going to go with a showcase cab and a 32in tv but i think 25-27 and a standup will be just fine till i get a bigger place. still need a tv that had all the awesomeness that one did
