Release id #201894 : Borderpolizei
So, quoting Krill:
Quote:Finally someone made this! =)
It would be really cool if some of you would take their time and read the .pdf, and then provide your results.
Especially interesting would be results from high quality CRT TV sets that can be trusted to be properly factory calibrated. Even more interesting if someone around here is qualified to do this himself (and has the equipment). Speak up! :) |

Oh well, thanks :) I wonder if correctly calibrated CRTs even exist at this time :=) |

This is really hard to do. I have a Sony PVM 14L4, which was last calibrated professionally in 2014. There is no user-accessible way to adjust the geometry (and I'm not going to open it, it's sealed). The C64 image is not perfectly centered. I assume that to be the correct way.
The visible part of the Trinitron tube is essentially rectangular, so the difference between the two lines is minimal:

the vertical "non centering" actually looks spot on - it should be 8 pixels more on the left than on the right. Thanks! |

Quoting Groepazthe vertical "non centering" actually looks spot on - it should be 8 pixels more on the left than on the right. Hmm, but only if pretty much "everything" is shown horizontally. As in, when the right border isn't cropped like in the screenshot, i guess. =)
Can't properly read the right-border numbers there, will the next version come without compliance to borderline compo restrictions? |

Frankly spoken, this is the first time I ever saw a c64 output with such a narrow right sideborder!
Thanks to everyone for doing measurements! Means a lot to us :) |

nope. its exactly what happens when you use a C64 at a properly calibrated TV set - 8 pixels more in left border than in right border. |

I also wondered if I should post my screens absolute maximums. I decided to write them down locally.
So I'm able in time to post them if necessary or take that as a personal reference.
So I could (if really necessary!) adjust my screens at the particular time, you coders are doing crazy things again.
But for motivational issues I'll post them nevertheless, now and here! NARF
(type, manufacturer, name - outer/inner max top/bottom/left/right dec) ...this should go into standarized database
CRT | Sony | Trinitron BVM (15“) | 27/21|49/43|31/29|29/25
Beamer | Sanyo | Z2 | 28/27|47/46|36/35|35/34
now go, do crazy stuff :P |
