    Is flexview better at scaling?

    Hi!

    Normally if you would scale a laptop with say SXGA+ resolution to XGA the graphics would not look very nice.

    Would there be less of a scaling issue with the flexview screens in non native resoultion?


    Any opinions?

    I don't know if so or not, but I scale up 1024x768 to the 1400x1050 res of my T43 here, and it looks fine to me. Not like a CRT's scaling, and not crisp, but definitely not a bad job scaling.

    My 15" is scaled down from 1600x1200 to 1280x1024 and it looked fine to me.
