Ipaq's display

[RwGast]

I would never consider myself to be a good enough programmer to do this but i have a theory. I think ipaq's color may be as good as casios with a program see i rember someone once said that ipaq's have an lcd capabile of 64k colors becuase its an lcd thats mass manufacured for other pda's too which do have 64k color. And that the problem with ipaq is that its driver only uses 12 bit color or whatever. If they wrote JS Landscape from a driver standpoint why couldnt someone with some talent write a driver that does 64k color on an ipaq. It's all just theory and there probably is a reason it hasnt been done im just curious why it hasnt been done.

Next time you post, use things like capital letters and punctuation marks.<br>The drivers for the iPaq are 16bit, but the LCD is only 12 bit. It decreases the colors in hardware, not software.

Yep, sorry Robert.<br><br>It's a 12bit LCD. <br><br>Interesting side note, because of it's horizontal pixel orientation, it inclines me to believe SONY intended them to be used as a camcorder display of some sort. <br><br>

It's quite easy to understand Shapeshifter. The LCD screen of iPaqs is only 12bit, Casio uses 16bits, so Casio is better than iPaq in yet another field.

Oh, and don't do that anymore. It ruins the page layout. And it's not like it's harder to read. Maybe it is for the weak minded or slow of thought, but whatever. It's dumb

Hey, I read somewhere that the Casio Screen is actually a 21" flatscreen LCD. Casio wrote some drivers that "shrunk" it down to a 4" display. Somehow, when they compressed the bytecode, it compressed the physical dimensions of the screen as well.<br><br>Why hasn't someone written a driver to inflate the screen to 21", and reinstate the full 32-bit color as well? ~<br>

[Moose or Chuck]

Oh, thank you! I started to think you were an idiot too randall. But then I saw that tilde at the end. Hehe.. no, wait. That 21" thing wasn't really funny.

I might also add that the Casio display looks even better in direct sunlight. N'er have I seen such clarity.<br>

Man that sucks ass, i would have bought a casio if i new you could see it outside, but all these reviews said you cant. You know what i cant even see my ipaq outside to well anyway. And the dust that comes from under my buttons drives me crazy i even have a small hair in there, with no time to send it back for cleaning becuase its colleage summer session and i just got it back about a month ago, arghhh. Ipaq sucks i want casio but its to late now.

[Moose or Chuck]

Yep, iPaqs suck.

[randall]

he [999] should have added a tilde to the end of that message.

[Moose or Chuck]

I think they all look about the same in direct sun, except the iPaq's "futuristic" "chrome" plastic coating will blind you unless you smudge it with fingure prints.<br><br>Randall, you should put a tilde at the end of your name

[randall]

A tilde tattooed on the end of your dick would be a great conversation piece.
