[Elecraft] Medium size monitor for P3?

[David Christ]

All these small monitors seem to have one thing in common.  The 
horizontal resolution is standard but the vertical is less than 
normal.  For example, instead of 1024x768 the 8,9" is 1024x600.  I do 
not see that resolution listed for the P3SVGA.  In addition, neither 
of these monitors have VGA connectors.  They connect to a computer 
with USB and there is a special driver loaded to send the video over 
USB.  I do not think there are any plans for the P3SVGA to send out a 
video signal over USB.

Unfortunately my statement still stands.  I hope someone can prove it wrong.

I will say this.  The resolution on the P3 display is 480x272 so 
800x480 should display things quite nicely.  But that said, that 
resolution is not supported by the P3 nor the USB connectivity.

The other small monitors I found had reduced vertical resolution and 
composite input (RCA jack).  Still not compatible with the P3SVGA. 
Please correct me if I am wrong Altos.

Keep looking guys.
