Small Questions - Yuhaney - 10-14-2012
I decided to create this thread for those who have a small question in mind, that itself isn't simply enough important to start a new thread.
_______________________________________________________
I'll start:
Does 1920x1080 monitor display 1600x1200 resolution correctly?
Since the vertical pixel amount in Full HD isn't big enough for the 4:3 aspect ratio, I'd say 'no'. I want to confirm if this is correct.

Since the horizontal pixel amount in Full HD isn't big enough for the 4:3 aspect ratio, I'd say 'no'. I want to confirm if this is correct.
1600:1200 = 16:12 = 8:6 = 4:3
1920:1080 = 960:540 = 480:270 = 240:135 = 48:27 = 16:9
So no.
EDIT: I mean, you can display it if you want to but it will be stretched as the aspect ratios differ (you already know that though I think).

Umm... No? Even though the aspect ratio differs, I still can use the 4:3 aspect ratio on my 16:9 monitor.
I just change the monitor settings and 4:3 displays correctly leaving black bars on the sides.
The question was that does it fit in, since the vertical pixel amount is higher in the 4:3 (1200) than my monitor's native 1080. Using common sense, I can't see it fitting in, but that's why I want to confirm it.

I doubt it fits, I'm sure you would have to crop or stretch it one way or another (but I'm not an expert).(10-14-2012, 01:39 PM)Bridge Wrote: EDIT: I mean, you can display it if you want to but it will be stretched as the aspect ratios differ.

Yes I said, but I edited the post since I meant vertical.

True on that. However, with my current setup I use the 4:3 setting since I hate the stretching but still don't want to miss any information and still want to use the highest possible resolution, hence the question.

Some older games don't have native 16:9 support so they stretch the image if set to that resolution.

Maybe, but I will still use it since I don't want to start new thread for every idea or thought that I have.

i have a question, is it possible to convert a (jpeg picture for example) to xml ?
converting any format of picture to XML ? Haven't find any converting software or anything
