I've been watching a panel on Ebay and emailing the seller questions. He says there's nothing wrong with his panel. It works fine for powerpoint and such but he said he tried to play a DVD movie with it and it didn't show anything. I know the native res for his panel is 640x480. Could that be part of the problem? I don't know what size DVD movies are but I was thinking it was larger than 640x480.
Do you guys think it's a simple correctable problem, or could there be something seriously wrong with that panel?
Any help from you guys is appreciated. |

I find it hard to believe that the panel knows what kind of media it is displaying ;-) Whoever you are thinking about buying from is probably just trying to watch the DVD in a resolution high than 640x480... not sure what the default resolution of a DVD is, but I'm pretty sure you should be able to find a player that can scale the picture down to 640x480 if this was his problem.
the fact is, it doesn't matter what is being displayed out from a computer, if a screen can display one media, it can display any other (allowing for resize of the picture if necessary)
sounds fine, but If I were you, I'd tell him how to watch a dvd in 640x480 mode (find out your self... Im not sure exactly) and see if he can get it to work by doing it.
hope I've helped ;-) |

I think you can solve this problem using powerstrip and some macrovision software. But you have to use pc :(
Also, if the panel is passive matrix don't buy it (like msx-2 said) |
