[iyonix-support] Re: MDF for new monitor

This to to thank you all who have responded and to announce that I now 
have the monitor (which is a Hanns G 281, the same as John's) working 
perfectly at 1920 x 1200 on my Iyonix as well as on my PC.

The MDF from Paul's site that John sent me was almost right but left a 
few pixels missing off the right-hand edge. Changing sync_pol:1 to 
sync_pol:0 has cured that. Presumably the monitor is clever enough to 
cope with whatever sync polarities it receives, but the polarity is 
making a slight difference to the timing.

The lower resolution modes in the MDF may have been left over from 
older MDFs and don't seem to work, so I've deleted them from my copy. 
With a bit of trial and error I've created a new mode at 1440 x 900, 
chosen as exactly three quarters with the idea of minimising aliasing.

I chose this monitor because it provides not only a high resolution 
but a large physical size (nominal 28 inch, actual diagonal about 
27.5), so things that are a fixed number of pixels in size aren't too 
small for my taste. It seems very reasonably priced for such a large 
one so could become popular. Anyway I'm now very happy with it.

Should I send my revised MDF to Paul or elsewhere?

Richard
