| The screen is old SDN technology. i.e. the pixel response rate is to slow for motion graphics. I modified an i-o for my three year old daughter to play Freddy Fish games. When the characters talked their mouths would appear to be open and shut at the same time because the screen could not respond fast enough. She didn't seem to mind, but it drove me nuts, which is one of the reasons this board spent so much time trying to get TFT to function. The pixel response rate is very fast with TFT screens and if we could have ever gotten it to work I think we could have gotten the i-o to function as a TV. The big problem was adding TFT support to the BIOS. That seems to have been a major stumbling block for the few on this board that understood assembly code, and the effort died a slow painful death. However, this past fall I was talking about this with a professor friend that teaches assembler language and the idea came up to create a techno challenge for a scholar ship. I am presently preparing to sell off most of my junk box on e-bay to raise the funds for the scholarship portion of such a techno challenge. I have not figured out how to frame the challenge or write it up yet, but I am working on it. In the mean time, if you have the talent to patch a BIOS and provide TFT support, please jump right in. | |
