More Details on Silicon Graphics' SGI 1600SW Display

I can not say enough about Silicon Graphics '1600SW TFT. Attractive appearance in 1998 is looking good today, but like all technology, SGI is a bit "strange (not a bad thing). This is not a monitor that can only take home, connect, and go to work . You have to understand first. But it's worth, even for more than 10 years later there is nothing better than starting with this.To, the 1600SW is blazing fast pixel update. You know the lines and overlap it has generally been concerned, especially when you're playing video games, using a TFT? You will not find here.

This is what I mean by lfast pixels update.But, get this - the TFT still only support a native resolution of 16 9. In case you do not know what that means, producers and users can put two side by side screens overlap with the work or projects without any problem. This also makes them much better than others for working with digital video. (I should note that the catch with this is that as this makes 16,001,024 @ 60Hz native resolution, anything else is to look strange and irregular, and that can happen to you to adjust the 1600SW to your machine. ) Now The 1600SW has a connector that OpenLDI. TFT, while still in development phase, all but SGI is going for the cheaper option - DVI. OpenLDI is more expensive, but higher. The ROI is much better with DVI. In other words, you're getting what you pay for. Usually there is a good reason for something is more expensive than an alternative to that something. I do not think we need in the economic computers - even monitors.This do the connector and the signal are completely different, though, so you can not connect to a DVI.

The cards are 1600SW native support are: 3D Labs Oxygen VX1-1600SW, Number Nine Revolution IV, and Formac ProFormance 3 (Mac card). As for the machines that natively support the monitor, there are still three and are all made by SGI: SGI 320, 540 and O2/O2 +. It also requires a small card card credit to support the 1600SW. This card is inserted into the motherboard via a custom connector. LVDS connector for graphics are provided on the board. These cards will not work on any other machine, either.So, if you have a modern SGI machine , you can get one MLA (MultiLink adapter), also SGI and get DVID LVDS input or output from HD15. But there are solutions PIX "link adapter Pix - this is a DVI-to-LVDS. My Pix Link flawlessly.Then has helped me is a PCI-based pass-through card was developed by the chief engineer of the original development team 1600SW Dan Evanicky and Oscar Medina. The power here comes directly from the PCI bus. This is an affordable too.So, while the TFT is not exactly easy to get started, SGI 1600SW magnificently pay for your time and money. Be grateful for this to end.
